Interesting. I'm not familiar with this range, what other subjects do they do? Any Nortons?

I guess you really would have wanted to ride them... looking extremely uncomfortable. Yet cool!

Thanks for posting John! Those Hendersons were your grandfathers? I'm envious. Those were state of the art in their day.

There is 4 in that series of kits : A Harley , Ace , Henderson , and a Militaire. They are ok but need a lot of work to make them acceptable ,in my opinion. They have rubber tires and too much chrome , heavy sprue connections and difficult paint and decal workings.They build up ok , from what I have seen , but suffer from the usual m/c kit maladies.
