Straight out of the box. No mods. The rear fender came in 3 pieces and gave me a bit of a hard time but made it easier to paint. Tamiya Champagne Gold and Tamiya Gloss Black.

Thank you, gentlemen. I'm quite happy with the result. Not really a big fan of bikes in the "real world" but love building them. This is number 7 in the last couple of years.

Very nice build and great colour choice. The three piece rear fender didn't quite line up on one side for me. My separation wasn't critical as the colours were deep but with high contrast colours, certainly noticeable. I painted them separately then secured at the end.
