This is a Revell Freedom Chopper. I painted it with Testor's One Coat Paint and used Bone Daddy and Tribal decals from other motorcycle kits.
Other than the prep work and paint it was basically assembled in 48 hours for the L.I.A.R.S Show.
And let me tell you what a headache it was!!! Almost everything was warped or bent from age in this kit. The mold seam lines were so bad that I had to scrap most of the chrome in this kit to remove the seams. What chrome there is I did not sand the mold lines as I did not have time to send anything out for chroming. My fault for waiting til last minute to start the build.
No matter what I did, the 2 piece tires would not stay in place. They kept caving in so I left them that way.
2 PIECE TIRES...WHO'S BRILLIANT IDEA WAS THAT?
Absolutely nothing wanted to fit together properly. It was a horrible build. Here is the result.
