Thought long and hard about whether I wanted to do this one but, tempted by the £1 start offer, I have gone for it. I have done this model at 1/18th, 1/12th, 1/9th and 1/6th so the thought of a 1/4th was just too tempting. Something about the beauty of the mechanics of a Harley just made it a must have and I know from doing the D51 how well made the components will be. Now the important bit, who’s going to tell the wife for me?

Agonised over this one since it was released and even more with the £1 offer so took the plunge this morning. Worry about you know who if and when she finds out Scared

Hi Bugsec.

The 'if' is a given as my wife looks after the bank account. The 'when' I'm thinking will be Christmas morning after she opens her new £300 sewing machine and I open my new socks. Cunning plan!!
