The closest thing to a mid-20s Harley that I can find is 1/18th diecast by Maisto.They have 2 models one 1909 and the other 1936.I will take the 36 model and modifly it to look like a 20s model.The engine up until 29 was a F-head ,so I can take the engine out of the 09 model and put it in the modifed 36.(are you with me so far)Anyway you look at it ,there will be a lot of scratchbuilding as bikes changed a lot over this period.I will have to make spoked wheels etc..etc..
This is the fun of dioramas.If you had told me just 3 days ago that I would be researching Harleys today.......It is only recently that I became aware of what a big part motorcycles played in airshows of the 20s so it seems to be a natural fit.Problem is you can now add a few more weeks to the completion date ,whenever that is.
Well now its on to picture taking
Cheers! John.
