Bump for an update
More work to go, slow, because its in the back room and out of sight. I had big life things come up and slow work on all the projects.

Needs the Yellow paint and some Graphics added.

That's a really cool idea for a rear rack! I'm looking forward to seeing the paint come together.

These are really creative... Love the front fork landing gear on the Blue angels bike too! I have an army themed build im getting ready to start up.. Nothing as creative as these, more of just a replica of a WW2 bicycle...

Cool bike. I like it a lot.

FYI, a proper military number "4" is not connected at the top, so that it can never be confused with a "9". ;)

That may be true for the Army, but not for the Navy. In the Navy we use a '4' all the time. My jets are the 400 series in our CAG, and that's what we use. Here's BA #4

Oh, and as an Active Duty Navy dude, let me say THANKS! This kind of thing certainly doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated!

I'm talking about the Navy, actually. I'll just say that I was taught for certain very important documents that are very number heavy, that there was a specific way to write each number so that there was no confusion. HAD to slash sevens, HAD to put the extra carrots on a one, MUST diagonally slash zeros, etc. It probably only applied to those documents.

I write like you taught. But we stencil on jets like shown. Different instructions I'm sure. :lol:

The second pic looks amazing. The triple tree forks suit that ride SO much. Very well done.
