Sometimes ended up hand-making most of parts to satisfy their obsession to details . Cut aluminum plates to make sprockets , brake disks. Vacuum foam cowling, shave out cast wheels from chunk of plastics, solder metal parts to emulate welding marks, apply hand made decals and polish surface with 8000 grade sand paper and compound. There is a company that makes various chain for 1/12 scale motorcycle model kits. And You have
