Tintin in the Land of the Soviets (BMW Motorcycle)

I love these older boxes. So full of nostalgic mystery! 

A small sprue for a small kit. 

Here's the main pieces. Glued the sidecar together. 

Time for a small bit of surgery to open up the front forks. 

A bit of tubing for some new forks. Looks better to me. 

First coat of Tamiya XF-57 Buff 

Thank goodness I found some Tamiya enamel paints. Makes brush painting the details so much easier in my opinion. 

Added the engine components. 

Sidecar attached, but a few more painting touchups needed. 

All assembled and a mini base prepared. Just a coat of Future needed to seal it all together.
