Translated by Google It is a kit that is kind to beginners
It's a little old design kit, but it's a good kit that is easy to assemble and has a lot of volume. There seems to be some dissatisfaction with the details, but it seems appropriate considering the characteristics of the plastic material and the clearance of parts during actual assembly. When completed, it will be a powerful object that will look great in a study or audio room, and the size of the parts is only on a big scale, so even beginners can surely take shape with time and effort. To bond the plated parts, you have to remove the plating on the bonded part, but there is also a universal plastic adhesive that can be bonded together with the plating, so you should purchase it after consulting with the shop staff. .. You don't need any special tools, and you can start right away if you have enough tools to find at a convenience store or stationery store. Even if you don't paint it, it will look like a Harley-Davidson, but if you are interested, you can get a much better atmosphere by spraying clear spray on the cowl, tank, and fender. Please enjoy yourself!

Original Japanese review
初心者にも優しいキットです
少し古い設計のキットですが、組み立てやすく、ボリュームもある良いキットです。細部においてはやや不満もあるようですが、プラスチックという素材の特性、実際の組み立ての際のパーツクリアランス等も考慮すれば妥当であると思われます。完成すれば迫力満点のオブジェとなり、書斎やオーディオルームによく似合いますし、ビッグスケールでこその部品サイズで、初心者でも手間と時間を掛けさえすれば確実に形になります。メッキパーツの接着には接着部分のメッキを剥がさなければなりませんが、メッキごと接着できる万能型のプラスチック用接着剤もありますので、ショップの方と相談の上でお求めになればよいでしょう。特に特別な工具も必要とせず、コンビニか文房具店で見つかるくらいの道具があればすぐにでも始められます。特に塗装しなくてもちゃんとハーレーらしくなりますが、気になる方はカウル、タンク、フェンダーだけでもクリアースプレーを吹いてやればずっと良い雰囲気になります。それでは存分にお楽しみください！
