Diopark has been in touch and informed Armorama of two new products being released on the figure front. The two offerings are identified as Royal Marines using pedal cycles during World War Two.
These two offerings from Diopark look quite good to me, but the images of the actual models are a little soft focus wise. The bikes would appear to be the offerings they have had for some time, but in the images there is no photo etched parts shown, which I hope does not mean they are not included. While these releases are listed as Royal Marines the uniform was pretty generic and so could be used to represent figures from other arms of service.

On PMMS it states PE spokes are included. However, maybe not sprocket gear, chain, and pedals. So...maybe not acceptable!

Maybe they'll include optional etch spokes and chain etc. Not everyone is comfortable working with etch and a lot of manufacturers know it. Personally I detest using the stuff and usually make a worse job if it than I would with plastic.

The Diopark Bicycles are a true work of art with very good PE. Checkout Terry Ashley's excellent review of them: LINK Cheers Al

To be clear the bikes can be built without the need for any PE, but the PE really refines the bikes, I am surprised the PE has not been promoted in the images if included.

Not without PE spokes at least. It appears they MAY be included, but it's not clear. That's poor marketing, as if included, they should shout it from the rooftops. If so, this is a superb idea.

Must be PE in the kit. I have to both the military bicycle and the asia bicycle which are both absolute work of art, including a great deal of PE. Chubby fingers BE WARNED
