Looks like the frame is painted black and the fender gold. What's the process on painting that model, do you paint the part individually before you put them together? It appears that's what is necessary.

Yes I paint the parts while they are sitting on the tree-After it has been removed, I paint those spot where it had been connected to the tree and I remove paint from the area where I glue it together with another part(s)

In fact I paint as much as possible before starting build-
In Revell instruction the colour you need for certain parts are mentioned in letter. In this case from A to L.
First I painted every part with the colour A, then B, then C first when I was finished with E or was it F I could start to build the motorcycle.

Only two colour left- Gloss White and white silk mat.

Here is the building instruction in pdf

1. It is the first time I try to build a motorcycle model
2. It is the first time a whole tree with parts is missing.

If I get the spare parts from Revell and the build become a success I will build this model:

Would love to build this instead but I do not have the money for it

One may think so-Don't forget it's a huge models when finished it will be around 52 cm long and most of the parts will be metal.

This is part 1



This is part 2
