Hey guys, thought I'd jump on board with the group build! Iv got several pictures of my grandfather in the war. He was a remarkable chap and was involved in many areas of the army. But I want to concentrate on his time when he was a 'dispatch' ( I think thats right) rider in France. Here are the photo's I have of him:
This picture is the one I want to replicate. It has this on the back:
A message to my grandmother then 'somewhere in france' 12/11/39 and the letters on the fuel tank are 'c47377'
I've ordered this kit from my local hobby shop. Hope it will suffice??

If anyone could give me anymore info colours/parts to add/remove etc that would be great. Also I wouldnt mind putting the bike on a cobbled street like in the photo (and maybe add part of the house in the background?). But because I'm mainly a sci fi guy I dont know where to go to get such things. I read theres photo etch upgrades for the bike wheels etc???
Thanks guys
John
