Thank you, guys! I made a simple jig from sprue, a piece of plastic and some Tamiya tape. This centred the two parts while soldering. Ah, the smell of a new and little used soldering station!

Ahhhhh, The smell of flux in the evening. 🙂

I suppose you sand down the soldering excess?

Holger, the magnification of this marco shot shows more than seen with the real eye. But I used a sanding stick after doing these pictures and deburred the seam.
This assembly is now glued into the rear wheel using an acrylic 2K glue.

OK, that's the part I would like to see some time Thomas. 🙂
I bet you had a great time putting it together, because even after all the ones I have, I still get a big smile on my face, marvelling at how they got so much detail into such a tiny little kit. 👍

In the images I have seen of the Zundapps and BMW's, the spokes were mostly in the very outer edge of the rim centre. but any way you get it done is fine, as it is not an exact science with these tiny wheels in 1/35. 🙂

Its not like the Tamiya R75 i once built, Noooo, don't take me back there, the riot that broke up our initial club.

Ein schönes Projekt, Thomas. Ist sie in der Kofiguration wie auf dem Deckelbild geplant?

Ja, soll mal so aussehen wie auf der Packung. Alle Miniart Harleys sind als Szene mit passenden Figuren gemacht. Das hat schon was.
Ich muss aber auch sagen, die kleinen Dinger haben es in sich! Teils hochfein gespritzte Kleinteile; Ätzteile müssen mittels Biegehilfe angepasst werden. Gut das ich eine antimagnetische spitze Pinzette habe...
Ich werde womöglich auch versuchen, den geätzten Stützrahmen am Vorderrad zu verlöten. Wünsch mir Glück...

Na klar wünsch ich Dir Glück. Möchte ja später etwas Schönes zum betrachten haben. 😉

Thomas, I am thrilled to see the results you are getting with your build and especially the soldering of the front wheel frame assembly.👍!! The wheel spokes are a treat to see, and gives a true 'depth' to the overall look of your work. And now I have seen the nut and washer add-on for the tank, I must get some too, as I would never known these existed unless I saw the pack you posted. 🙂
Like I say Thomas. I am really excited it turned out as beautifully as this.👍
Congratz mate. 🙂 🙂
Well worth the wait my friend. 👍

Wished I could do more progress, Kerry. But this is a kit that deserves slow going.

Now you can understand why I have been such a fan of them, as each one presents a little surprise all of it's own. But I do love your attention to detail mate. 🙂

nice progress on this bike...

Kerry, yes, so far there is no progress on this one. But it´s still on the bench. So, there is hope! 🙂

I always live in hope Thomas. lol.
I have got so many 'unfinished' kits, it's just not funny. 🙁
But I am always looking for that build that blows me away with detail or something that I can't put down. like a good book full of pretty women. hahahaha 🙂

Rui S
hehehe,
Well Kezza, that gave me some confidence, because I consider all my projects unfinished😎
but some (4 at least) really are.
The others I prefer not to mess around with them just to see the evolution, to the next ones.😉 So, I too live in hope 👍
@Thomas, great work on that soldering and detailing 👍

Rui, I am pleased to know also that you have some 'undones' in you workshop mate. I did always try to finish kits, but I usually screw them up in the attempt, but, now I put them a way for later, it's just as much fun as a new kit. hehehehe
