Hello.......this is a replica of Bob Checchinis Honda chopper.......Privateer suggested that I build this........thank you Privateer for your help with the reference photos.......this build started with a 1/12 scale Revell chopper and a 1/12 scale Tamiya Honda CB900 F2.......I transformed the engine into a 1970 Honda CB750 with kick start.......scratch built body, seat, springer front end and alot of other stuff ........".Pro Tech" detailing wire, rubber fuel line, spark plug wires, braided line for the brake, clutch, and throttle cable.........rub on letters and the American decal is from the Polar Light`s Chi-town hustler kit .......I hand painted gold over the decal.......all graphics airbrushed.......H.O.K. white, tangerine pearl, true blue pear and Dupont Jarret red.......thank`s
