Tamiya 1/35 BMW R75 w/Sidecar - Kit Review

Reviewing Tamiya's, 1/35 scale, BMW R75 motorcycle & sidecar kit, No. 35016, released in 1972.

This classic, early, Tamiya kit, features a nicely detailed BMW motorcycle and sidecar combination, with a variety of saddlebags, and other accessories, that can be added, or omitted, as the modeller desires. The kit also comes with parts for two walking German infantry, figures, the R75 rider, and a sidecar passenger, with several weapon options, including an MG42, Kar98k rifles, and even a Panzerfaust, the original style assembly instructions, which include a basic painting guide, and a decal sheet that includes a good selection of marking choices; number plates for 6 motorcycles (2 x Wehrmacht, 2 x Luftwaffe, & 2 x SS), helmet decals, and also divisional & tactical markings, including Afrika Korps emblems.
