    ....yet an other SW1 on its way to completion. I had one of the frets. Stack, horn and bel are self made. The headlights are from some small parts I got from Lajos.

    It was actually my very first brass kit.... and I enjoyed building it!

    The bel is made out of brass rot, filing while rotating in a dremmel tool (have no lathe). The bracket is just a piece of brass fence. The bell and horn are the only parts where I had to use CA gell glue.
