Good Evening Gentlemen,(And you lot!!:tears-of-joy:),
OK then,this build is taking off as of now,no build stuff until tomorrow as this is just the Intro bit...... which is pic heavy as it is!!:worried:
It won`t be of interest to most,as it`s a large scale,and of a German WW2 Motorcycle Combi... a bit of a niche subject!!:tears-of-joy:
HOWEVER.... I shall chunter along..... Box Art........

Front and centre please. Even at this scale some of the parts look small and fiddly.
Jim
Blimey Jim.....
You were quick off the mark mate:thumb2:,

Yourself and Jim are MORE than welcomed ..... but i don`t want you two fighting over the Popcorn!!:surprised::tears-of-joy:
As for the Spokes... I actually looked at them and wondered just how "Too big" they are,,, must admit that i`ve not measured them yet.... but i AM on the case:thumb2:
Please stall Matron a little.... I`m sure you have power over her!!;)

I will take a front row seat. Often thought of getting one of these.
Are you going to re-spoke the wheels. I did my Triumph in the same scale and it wasn't that hard. Fiddly but not hard.

Well I’ve tested clear so I’m just going to sit here with a self satisfied grin on my face. Pity it’s the Zundapp though, good looking kit of an ugly bike I think.

I built the Dragon issue of the Kettenkrad (all these 1:9 military bike kits originate at ESCI) very long ago, and liked it as a kit. Motorbikes aren’t really my thing, but this looks like it will be a good kit. Too bad about the lettering on the jerrycan, though — that shows the model’s age, really.

Not knowing anything about Gerry Jerrycans, could you elaborate on that a bit?
As Dan guessed correctly: the lettering should be embossed, but I guess it was easier for ESCI to engrave it into the mould rather than cut away all the material around the letters. A typical 1970s shortcut, really :smiling3:
