Description

Well the beast is in progress, I already have ready the motor, which is a little miracle having in account all the worst parts one has to confront.

The other nightmare it was to paint the huge body!!!! I used a lot of Tamiya enamel bottles in an bestial orgy of painting that demanded two sessions with lost of sanding…..etc. Usually painting technique allows me to have only one session but this is Pocher and could be less than two of one hour each. I think that when this was finished I had given 20 coats at least. Next will be polishing waxing and asking God for this goes so good as in the dryfit which needs one week!!!!

I have added more pictures, one of them compares the size of the motor versus a Tamiya motorcycle box kit.
