Here is a recent bike project that I did of a vintage Revell 1/8 Harley drag bike. A very rare kit to get these days, and I've had it for about 7 years. This kit was started when I got it, and the original builder obviously figured if one tube of glue was good, two would be better. I spent a week cleaning the glue bombed frame, and luckily I had some extra 1/8 Knucklehead parts. Here's the final product....
