interesting subject. I am in. I am surprised that Meng did not give photo etches spokes to this bike. I would have improved the appearance considerably. Maybe you put new spokes in yourself...

Hi Michael, I also have a French bycycle with lots of PE, including spoked wheels, waiting in the queue. This one will be worked on first, then we'll see if I'm up to the challenge...

Many thanks, Villiers, I think these were my first successful ones, and done solely with acrylics. So many talented modellers' work have been carefully observed, and I think I must have been inspired by their results 🙂
