Hi everyone!

Some of you may remember my previous project – Zundapp KS750. My next motorcycle in 1/72 is BMW R75 with sidecar. Actually model is now completed, but I would like to share the tricks I used during the build. The project is based on Italeri 1/35 BMW and scaled down to 1/72.

I’ll post few pictures at the time and maybe give a brief comment, so if you have any questions I will be happy to answer.

I used a piece of sprue to make the headlamp:

After a closer look at this picture I realized the part looks more like chiken legs rather than front fork.

So I stripped it down and replaced few parts to make it thinner...
