Looks really good. Great attention to detail.. as far as I know, this is the only bike kit I've seen that has the Dynamo on the front fork. I remember that when I was a kid.. having that dynamo which works off the front tire to turn the light on!

Outstanding! I hope they can settle the spokes issue with PE.

Oh, now look at this! These look fantastic! I really wonder how many (if more than 1) come in a kit and their prices? It doesn't matter though as I will be buying enough for 3 bikes. These will instantly and easily make those "complete yet still missing something" dioramas we all have click and complete. I officially love Masterbox Ltd. I know the Normandy Panzergrenadier sets I've been waiting for will come from them...I can just feel it

I visited my former roommate in the Netherlands a few years ago. I met his dad at the family farm close to where the Battle of Overloon was fought. His father (about 12 years old at the time) and his brother were shelled once while taking their cow to pasture; he also had a pet rabbit that was wantonly killed in front of him by British soldiers, who walked away laughing.
