KittyHawk 1/48 F-35A #2

Added a bit of details with Tamiya enamel paints and wash with Mr Weathering (grey) on the gear wells,  weapons compartment and cockpit.

Installed these components inside the top and bottom fuselage. Fitting is good.

KittyHawk 1/48 F-35A #1

Looking for a simple build, this is a free gift, well kind of, as it was bought during some buy-one-get-one-free promotion. I got a 1/32 kit and here is the free gift.

Not a big box and seems to be a easy build.

Built gear wells and weapon wells, a little bit of filing and fitting, nothing major. Cockpit is simple too. There are many injection pins and it is not just a "mark" it is in pillar shape ! just cut them away and sand them flat.

Spray white on air intake and gear / weapon wells, german grey on instrument panel cover.

Fitting into the bottom fuselage seems alright.

X-rider 1/8 Cafe Racer is ready and tested

Few years has passed since I wanted to run this 2-wheeler
Bodyshell has been sprayed for a while and finally everything (except the rider himself, obviously) being put together. 
Tested run it today in some quiet (not 100% tho, but close enough) road nearby my place. When the physical gyro kicked in, the bike is quite stable but due to the two side rods length, they always interfere with the ground when cornering. After some mins, the long drive belt broke too. Maybe due to the small rocks on the surface.
I have never driven a RC bike with only 2 wheels before, it is harder than I think. 
Will need to learn and train more, while shopping for the replacement belt.
