Weird-ohs Davey - Complete build and paint for two kits.

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I worked on this build from mid May until mid July. I built two Davey kits at the same time and took my inspiration from two famous biker movies of the '50's and '60's. I still have to make a base to display them.

    They both look great! Love these kits. So easy to customize. The American flag gas tank looks fantastic. I really like all the extra details you went with. This was the first kit I did on my channel when I started back into the hobby. Thanks for sharing hear builds, take care. Jeff🇨🇦

    Hey Steve, they look familiar to me. Excellent builds. Very impressive work. You've given me a few more ideas. I see you took to heart Davey's statement in the instructions to buy a few more so you had a Gang.

    @@ModelCarMinion They usually don't. These were in their odd's-and-end's corner where they have things like toys. Not regular merchandise but things they get as overstock/discount. I first heard about it from another model KZreadr out in Edmonton and decided to check here. They were only $7 which was well worth it. This was quite a few months ago (6?), but you may want to check if they still have some. The Kanata Preston had mostly Francis Foul, but the east store had many more. I picked up 5 in total.
