There should be a seam separating the 2 sides of the gas tanks. They are 2 different parts. (the one on the right contains the oil, and the one one on the left contains the gasoline).

In fact most of the time I prepare (grand) the surface before I Glue or I use loctit glue. The tamiya glue can be used without defect (color change) on painted but not varnished pièce excepted on metalic paint.

You glue the tank parts together, that is wrong, it was two separate parts one for gas one for oil. just have to say! overall nice job.

You're totally true ! The kit is like that but on archive photos I found the tank looks in one part on the upper side but separate in two on the lower side. So, I choose the "look" prior the historical truth...

Hi I'm luving the video, I'm also building the same bike but when it comes to building up the rear fender with the rack on back it says to hot rivet it where it joins at the bottom. Is it just as simple as it sounds, heating a flat screwdriver 🪛 and flattening the pin?

Thanks for you comment. If I remember well, I didn’t heat anything. I install the piece classicaly with a lot of patience… To be honest, I am not always follow the instruction when my own methods works well.

Hello I was wondering when priming the rubber saddle does it affect the flexiness of the rubber or does it make it stiff as I'm doing the triumph 3hw but not as a military bike so I want to change the colour of the saddle the knee guards on the tank an the rubber on the saddle bags
@DarkSideModeler2 жыл бұрын
It depends (I think) of the type of paint you use. I had no problem with acrylic paint without thinner. I don’t know what happen with other type of primer or paint but (I think again) due to the agressivity of the product like enamel thinner, alcool of equivalent, the rubber will not like it.

Hi ! Thanks for your comments ! For the rushes I use mainly 000 and 00 for the details. After it dépend of the surface to paint but I never use more than 1. For the drybrushes, I use several size of flat brushes (it’s a basic set round on Amazon) For panel Line I use the set proposed by MIG (AMMO). In fact, the main thing is to feel confortable. I use always the 4 or 5 same brushes.
