Hi Dave
Great the rider fits. I do like the hands moulded onto the grips.

Assembling the figures on the bike is a bit tricky, but I think easier than trying to add completed figures to the model. - The poor passenger had to have his feet amputated, so he would easily slide into the sidecar, but not visible now!

Bad news Dace, been there, done that, I dropped my F1 car then slipped getting off the stool and stood on it making it a write-off.Aging hands & arthritis means that holding onto things ain't as secure as it used to be!

Gerry,Must admit that that kit is far 'better' than the Tamiya R75 & side car (which I've just started) one is - at least it has the sidecar vertical support struts (without which in 'real' life the bike meets the sidecar!) and the front & rear wheels aren't moulded into the frame/mudguards, plus the figures look a lot better. Far better 'detailing' overall, as well.
Shame about it's demise.
Dave, I'm 'lucky' in that my arthritis is in my shoulders (any heavy lifting/pulling gives me gyp) but hasn't spread any further - so far!Gerry,
It happens - I find that I do drop things a lot more than I used to. - I've been kept away from the bench the last few days with the arthritis in my wrist, and trying to do anything with only my weak hand is a bit of a puzzle at times. I do have the Zvezda Russian Motorbike & mortar sidecar in the stash, which is very similar in build & detail, so at least that's in the build list!
