I know this kit is old, and from the ESCI line, but how good is it? Being in 1/9th scale, I imagine it is quite big. 
What would it take to make into a Canadian Harley? All info appreciated.

Hi Art, 
That's a new one for me. I don't think we've ever had a question about Military motorcyles yet. However, I think they have one at Vimy house in Ottawa (Canadian War Museum). Since the museum is reopening in may, you might want to pay them a visit and take a look at the real thing, then compare with the model. I take it you have the kit? (By the way, nice C1).

From what I understand in doing a little looking Canada didn't use the WLA we used the WLC which has a different front end and such. I have the kit and it looks good to me, I have been looking for a pic of a Cdn WLC to see how hard it would be to modify.
Here is a quick pic that I found on the net.

Thanks for the info. Paul, my Leopard C1 was built in 1997, long before MLM's conversion. As you can tell, I used the figs from Tamiyas Cheiftain kit.
