1:9 scale Movable metal front set FOR MENG MT-004 HP4 RACE

Meng 1:9 movable metal front fork (for the BMW HP4 Race)

This product is not a motorcycle kit but a metal detailing accessory that replaces the plastic front fork of the large model of the BMW HP4 Race racing motorcycle in 1:9 scale from Meng. The metal version follows the shape of the original parts, gives the front fork a genuine metal look and, above all, makes it movable, as the dampers really do slide in. The metal also stiffens the whole front end of the model, so the build is more robust.

The real subject

The BMW HP4 Race is a limited-production superbike with a carbon frame and wheels, built as an almost racing machine for the circuit. A well-made front fork with telescopic dampers is a striking technical feature on a model like this and draws the eye.

Building tips

• Degrease the metal parts before gluing and before painting.
• When fitting the moving parts, use glue only where it will not block the movement.
• Clean the mating surfaces up if need be, so that the fork slides smoothly.
• Take care over the correct orientation of the dampers as the instructions show.

Who the set is for

For builders of the BMW HP4 Race model who want a metal, functionally sprung front fork and greater realism and strength.

This is an accessory to a model, not the model itself. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
