i just finished building and detailing this 1/6th scale indian motorcycle model from the Testors "die cast" kit. i will include the original kit box with the model.
this model is mostly plastic, the frame and fork are made of metal. the kit was sold under the Testors brand name back in 1998, but the model itself is identical to the New Bright 1/6 scale finished die-cast model.
i spent about one month building this kit, adding many extra details and making a few changes along the way. everything i did was fully researched to be as accurate as possible.
here is a basic list of modifications and additions.
-custom gray + red paint color.
-custom painted seat shaded to look like leather.
-added metal shifter linkage.
-added metal rear brake linkage.
-added metal clutch linkage.
-added metal oil lines.
-fabricated rear brake arm from styrene plastic.
-added brass screws to generator cover.
-incorrect headlight mounting angle corrected (was leaned too far back).
-removed the two extra headlights.
-removed the front + rear fender ornaments, holes filled.
-fabricated metal tube for spark plug wires.
-added speedo cable to front wheel.
-removed grab bar from seat.
-added front brake cable details.
-exhaust pipe openning drilled out.
-plastic wheel spokes thinned down (took many hours!)
-white wall tires swapped for black wall tires.
-voltage regulator moved to side of generator.
-all mold lines filed and/or sanded off wherever possible.
-screw hole filled in side of generator shroud.
-hole in side of distributor filled.
-correct coil wire was added.
-added chrome door lock on toolbox.
-reshaped foot board mounts.
-removed extra seat mounting bosses.
-removed display stand mounting bosses from frame.
i always offer a full-refund on anything i sell, so there will be no buyer's remorse here!

-Thanks everybody!
USA shipping- i try to always offer free shipping. i know how bad it sucks to wait for a new toy, so i get your box shipped out ASAP. usually priority shipping, always with a tracking number.
international shipping- i ship to many countries, but i opted-out of ebay's "global shipping program" because they add on massive fees for you to pay. I'm happy to fill-out the customs forms myself, so no worries there.
