Very nice!

Hopefully I'm not being a dink but there is one thing that caught my eye. Maybe some sort of strap over the canteen pouches to keep the bottles in? It would suck to lose your hot water zooming thru the Baja!

Indeed, on my to do list
More so a straps across the cylindrical bag, but you are right, the canteens could have a tie down too :think:

Believe me, this came out better than the one I made in the 1980’s :lol:
In fact I think this kit turned me off building motorcycles... until Tamiya came along

That would make you almost as old as me then :lol: :thumb1:
I remember doing the six wheel Tyrel F1 car in 1978 I think, my first proper kit :) made a right hash of it but loved it. :lol:

Got all my brass tubes capped off and finalized on the wheel axles and suspension.
In the previous photos I just pushed the extra length of the brass axles to the opposite side. Now they are all properly trimmed
Thought I would try a different background :think:
