This is a Protar 1/9 Harley Davidson Softail Custom, pretty nice kit, nice molding, that doesn't require to much cleaning. For assemble it, it require glue and some screws. I built it back in the 1996, when I was kind of into motorcycles. I try to customize it, lowering the fork, the rear end, double headlight, custom handlebar, different air intake, spoiler, exhaust, and a flame paint job, made with a brush ;D Last year I had this model shipped here in the US, with some other Harleys, in a nice custom box, inside a big foamy box. When you ship something, there is always the risk that some piece get broken. So I was kind of expecting to do some repair on them... A the custom (in Italy) they open the box, for "control it", as you can guess, those Harleys had an hard time... When I receive the package, the sound from it, was telling me that something was wrong... And when I open it, my eyes confirmed that! A the custom, they take out the Harleys from the small box, and put them back in the big box, with all the foam on top for press down on those HD... There was parts every where... Only two Harleys (on 4) where in need of a short restoration. The others, like this one, need a trash can... I was very close to trash them all... But I resist... Here the Softail, put all together (no glued) for have an idea of what it was. Here the deconstruction started... Soon more...
