Every now and then (often, actually) I'm faced with choices, and this model is a clear example. I had to decide whether to THROW AWAY everything (throw it away, not clean it) or try to salvage what I could. I tried to let common sense prevail and swallow my pride. I'm a big fan of painting unassembled models, because that way you can paint every area of the model beautifully, but this damned kit didn't forgive me a single thing. Despite taking countless precautions during assembly to make all the parts fit together properly, in the end, problems arose that required sacrificing the original throttle levers (since, given the presence of the driver's hands, I had welded them to the body, so the holes in the hull were filled with two "heat sinks"), and I searched among the bits for two pieces that best represented the new levers (they are decidedly large and ungainly...). I'm not happy: the bike was a dream, the rider has some imperfections, but we could have overlooked them... Then came the damage. It's a matter of perspective: many will be happy to see this piece of junk on my page (well, it's fair to give them satisfaction sometimes), while others might appreciate the rescue... Let's hope we don't have any problems with the next job.
