Yup, it's 1/8 scale Joe. Nice work on the Triumph's clutch plate.

Britboy, Whose kit is the old 900cc Sporty? Looks good. Paul MPC did a series of kits in 1/8 based around a mid '70's Ironhead Sporty (you could get it in stock, as an offroad Baja 1000 race bike, the obligatory chopper and a version based on the TV series "Then came Bronson"). I've backdated it to a non-electric start version but the kit itself is pretty basic, detail is OK but the top end of the engine really needs a lot of work to get it looking right.

The quest starts. I would back date it to a 1957 K model 750 Flathead. That was my first bike in 1969. Paul

Oh yes, that's a huge thumbs up Joe. A great little bar hopper in the making.

Sorry guys for the long absence here, a lot of shit happens in RL, Divorce , other house two months without internet. But some great builds here and I love the triumph. About my build the Beemer at this moment everything is airbrushed and waiting for assembly I will place a update here if that's still possible if not a move it to bike section.
