My word Bodo - you have been busy :!: :!:

I love the details you have added to this kit, they look superb :D

Hi Adrian,

here are some pics from my wheels.

I have grinded me two lathe chisels one for the inner section, which was rounded and one for the outer section, which was sharpened,
then I have milled out the inner and outer material.
Then I have milled with different angles a polygon and grinded the rest round. I hope this helps.

Thanks to all of you for your kind compliments, I only can give them twice back to you , especially to Simon, because it is a pleasure for me to follow his KT building and to Tim with his several projects.
I have attached some pics with the modifications I have made on the rear mudguards and the new exhaust, made out of copper.
