Thankyou for the comments, it is a "very ordinary kit".... I was moochin' about on e-bay and put model motorcycle into the search with lowest price first!

I was a bit underwhelmed which is why it has some major modifications, I only paid ~£15 and if I'd paid what seems to be the list price I would have been disappointed. The kit has chromed parts that are awfully "toy-ish" so I had to learn how to deal with that and start with a "normal" kit of plastic.

I have a few hours of video of this as it went along, I've never done video either so I have not had the time to edit it and make progress posts ... not lest because just after the contest start I sold my house and had to pack that up and move into storage, which doesn't sound too much hassle until I add that I don't live in the country anymore and had to fly in to do it! Then fly back to work and back again to finish off the legalities. Bit of a disruption to making a model for the contest.
