Hey guys! As things seem to be piling up around here, why not add some insult to injury. I bailed early from work on Friday, the back was acting up a little but anyway, I had the time and the kit, so why not! Tamiya's German Motorcycle & Sidecar #32578. If you interest to check out my review of this one on Armorama, have at it! www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=10047Not sure when this will see the paint but it is on the bench waiting!!! The Kit:  From what I see, this one is slated for the market in April. Honestly not a bad kit.  With only 47 parts and being a Tammy, things fall together really nice!!  Took just under an hour to get the bike situated  Another 20 minutes or so and the Sidecar was banged out  Nothing better than a quick bang-out job!  No, the drivers seat is not attached here yet!  The figures were not too bad to assemble. The mold is not the best I have seen on the figs but not the worst either. There are a couple options to depiction too.      And that was that! Quick build allowing for some good old painting fun soon!! Might get this primed up this week some time. As always, thanks for tuning in!!! |

Nice and quick way to enjoy one of those 'playing hooky' days. Nice details on the little bike... can always replace those kit heads with resin heads if they are available in 1/48.

I know Marc...I will have to try a bit harder next time!! Thanks Dicky! Didn't feel much smaller than 1/35. It will be a nice compliment to the Tammy 1/48 line! Thanks Andy! I will have a go at the kit parts one this one and see what it ends up like!! Love these quick ones!! |

This is WAY cool! Gotta get some paint on this for sure!
It also reminds me I have a conversion kit for that Indiana Jones bike. It's like 1/15th scale but pretty cool like this!

Either you have giant bottles of primer or the bike is even smaller than I had imagined Great job, it looks great in primer, can't wait for the magic |

Guy on the right looks like he's got something to say about those giant bottles T! Something on the order of 'you know those are only for 1/35...'!  |

The figures were not too bad to assemble. The mold is not the best I have seen on the figs but not the worst either. There are a couple options to depiction too.
