I want to hand paint the tyres then i'll post some pics.

This will be worth waiting for me be thinking matey 👍 👍 😀

OK.  Here is the front wheel.  While I was working on it it didn't seem as small as it looks in the hands of the Scale Reference Minifig.

I like it 👌 

Shiny

Slow progress due to the need for finishing parts before they can be assembled into sub-assemblies that are required to be assembled before parts can be modified to enable assembly.    What?

But here is where I (and scale reference minifig) is at.

Mods so far include removing the front mudguard (moulded to wheel), bobbing the rear mudguard (moulded to wheel), and removing side car mounts from the frame so the chair can be mounted on the correct (left) side.  Side car chassis has also been modified so it will fit upside down on the left and new sidecar mounts added to that side of the frame.
Next job is to mock it up with the chair chassis in position and scratch up the connections between it and the bike frame.

 

  

Thanks guys.

  
This is going to be funny and cool at the same time 

Going to be titled "Get me to the BBQ in time" ? 

Sidecar chassis.

I'm not sure about it ... 

Progress.

Frame/Tank halves are now glued around the engine/wheel.  Tank seam PSRed and the tank painted with a matt red undercoat.

Going by the thread title I was picturing a sidecar equipped Huey...
