Does anyone make a full-length rear fender for the Revell 1/12 choppers? What I'd like is one like this picture: www.sunsetclassics.com/1961-harley-davidson/I could extend the existing fender myself by scratchbuilding, or get another rear fender from somewhere and splice two together, but it'd be easiest if someone made a resin full-length fender.

I believe that there HAVE been similar fenders available in 1/12 - but not on Revell kits. Seems there was a line of import Harleys in 1/12 at one time, but I can't rememeber who made them.

Imai did make a large range of 1/12 Harleys (they were also sold under the Imex name as well, same kits) but all the fenders are stock sized and hence too narrow for the current Revell rear tyres. Good news is that most of the stock fenders are fairly flat across the top edge so it wouldn't be too hard to widen one.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, gents. Ebay has several listings for Imai Harleys, with buy-it-nows in the $40 range--which seems a bit stout for just a rear fender. Looks like my best bet is to extend the fender by scratchbuilding the extension. Sigh.
