Italeri 1/9 Harley Davidson WLA
The third motorcycle model is a vintage Harley.
The flathead Harley that's readily available is Italeri's WLA.
Nice to see Flat-head released on WLA. The WLA fits nicely with the WWW II from 1939-1945 and the original WL from 1937-1952.
The right half is the oil tank, and the oil line goes down from there to the engine, giving it a mechanical feel and a vintage feel using copper pipes. It can be changed to a battery-less bobber, and it is also attractive as a model.
Speaking of flat-head, I have a strong impression of a bobber style Harley that was sold to the private sector after the war and was customized for racing.
At that time, there was a movie called The Wild One starring Marlon Brando, and although the bike is a Triumph, you can watch it on KZfaq, so if you are interested, please check it out.
And it's the WLA on which the American comic Captain America rides.
This time, I would like to make a WLA-based bobber that was sold to the private sector in Captain America's coloring.
Actually, Magneto's bobber actually exists with this coloring.
I think it's probably based on WL, but when I found it on the internet, my head was spinning.
Since it is a model that can be purchased on Amazon, I edited the production process in a little more detail. I would appreciate it if you could refer to one.
Engine
WLA original materials are abundant and easy to understand.
Based on abundant materials, details of hoses, wires, bolts, carburetors, etc. have been improved.
The oil line was replaced with a brass pipe with an inner diameter of 0.6mm.
The air filter is really military, so I removed it and made it mesh.
The kick has been changed to a bicycle pedal type, and the mainspring has been changed to a copper plate.
wheel
Spokes are 0.5mm stainless steel spring wire.
The nipple is a brass pipe with an inner diameter of 0.6mm.
Check that all the spokes are the same length and that there is no distortion of the rim at key points before gluing the spokes.
Front fork
Springer. Often seen on vintage Harleys and choppers.
Ends with an early panhead. Although it was temporarily revived with a soft tail, production ended without being able to respond to the mandatory ABS and the power-up of the engine.
I omitted the lights and horns and attached the number plate.
Fender
WLA's rear fender is a split type, so I used only half.
According to the materials at that time, many of the bobbers were shortened WLA front fenders, and it felt like they were just cut off and distorted, so I made it that way.
Brake and clutch
Added bolts and replaced all shafts with nickel wire, brass wire, etc.
Painting
In Captain America's coloring, the tank, fender, tool case, and point case are painted red, white, and blue, and the star of the tank is a nail sticker.
Weathering as usual.
Display stand
It is a display stand of a vintage Harley.
Coppi Motorcycle & Garage Company
It is a fictitious shop and maintenance factory.
Helmet
Vintage helmet made with epoxy putty.
See you Next Againe!
Thank you very much.
