Hi,
Just finished this Zündapp here. I used the old Tamiya one out of the 88 kit. The side car is the Italeri one. I upgraded the motorcycle with an Eduard PE set, which were just a few parts. The cables etc. were made from thin brass wire. i had to make a few changes since the bike is going to be used on a SPR diorama and that motorcycle used in the movie doesn't show several features of an original Zündapp. I shaped it to the looks of the bike used in the movie as good as possible. The flat tire looks as if it doesn't fit to teh ground below, but that's just for now, as soon as it is in place on teh diorama it will touch the ground properly and blend into the scene nicely. The tail lights have been painted after I took the pictures.
Anyway, have a look and let me know what you all think of it.
Thanks!
Heli

Nice work! I am building the Lior Roar prototype, and will be looking to compare it to the Tamiya one.

Nice work Steve,
I build these scale bikes myself & have a few in the gallery.
The photo etch can be a lady, but makes them stand out. Are you planning any more of these for the diorama?(SPR which movie ???)
I am looking forward to the new kits by Lionroar & masterbox. if the photos are anything to go by should be good.
Carry on the good work.
