Title: Heller 1\8 Honda CB 750 K1
Post by: kpnuts on June 20, 2015, 02:48:01 AM

Hi all when I had mine I totally rebuilt it and whilst i was at it i stripped all the paint off the engine casings polished it and engraved it, so I thought I would do the same with this kit. being 1/8 of the original size it obviously wont be as elaborate but will give the general idea.

Well I am totally peed off this was advertised as new and unstarted. Someone has gone ahead on the instructions and started the frame, only they've glued it all wrong (and used plenty of it) I've tried getting it apart but it's like it's welded together, and even if I get it apart I'm not sure I can reposition it where it should be, so this is another one that's on hold, funny its another Heller kit.

Hi all I have to apologise to the seller it was my 10 yr old nephew he came over during the day with his mum to visit my missus and decided to have a go. That's what you get for trying to encourage youngsters. He is now banned from my model room unless I am there.

HI all well here are some pics of the bodged up frame (Most of it is under the tank so wont notice), lots of cleaning up to do, thanks to help from my nephew(he broke it so I told him he has to help me fix it).

hi all well back on this again, I've decided not to engrave the engine as I cant find a way of doing it that I like.
