Two Wheels Monday! Here we have a 1957 Harley Davidson Sportster first shot sample. Hat off to the assembly line worker who turned the rough parts into an awesome model. Enjoy!

nice truck Lu. First Gear are just great value. I recently added a couple more of their hot rods at ridiculously low prices for the detail. Pity First Gear don't get more attention.

This is a custom 1983 AMC Eagle SX/4 I commissioned. Built buy Mike Hanson. I was always a fan of late era AMC/Jeep and of course they were never well represented in Precision Model land. The Eagle was ahead of its time. The hatchback had a sporty yet classic AMC look IMO. This is 1:25 but I have to just pretend its 1:24.

@mwelbornjr Thank you for sharing! Is this based on an existing kit or fully scratch-built?

Scratch built. The body is a resin from Campesino. It was tough to locate and had to be significantly modified as it was for the Spirit which the Eagle model was based off. Some parts from other kits were used like the wheels are from a Monogram Citation X Kit, thanks to George Bojaciuk for this recommendation. Some of the engine and other functional components came from an AMT Gremlin Kit. The front and rear details, decals, and wheel flares are custom made. Mike Hanson is definitely skilled.
