so excited, i have this kit on order and it should arrive any day.
I am considering painting it not in military colors, but make it a civilian bike, maybe red? The art deco qualities of the sidecar are so awesome looking!

I researched this quite a bit and yes... use the civilian colours. They were pressed into service for the Polish and French campaigns and often used by the propaganda arm of the SS.

I'd paint it bright red or French Blue and put a Dalmation with goggles in the sidecar for sure! Awesome!
