nice and clean work Steph,tu es plus patient que moi,la mienne (le kit dragon) est encore a l'état de commencement extrême!

Thank you Fred, I thought it would be a small kit easy, but I straightened the frame of the bike that was veiled and not so simple to assemble. courrage good. steph

Hi guys these little things build up quick I had some time today while waiting for the Futures to dry on my other 2 campaign builds so I started on this 1. It will be OOB

box is filled with spruces and even some PE
Typical Dragon instructions with part # missing or wrong

This part of the build is about 95% complete but I think this little guy will require some putty and some file work

I should be starting on my Tamiya BMW R75s hopefully this weekend. I'm building two of them. One is being built for this campaign. The other I started on years ago. I figure I'd finish it alongside the one for this campaign. I plan on using both bikes as accessory pieces in a diorama for the Blitz 4 Campaign.

It's an old kit and, as John noted, it's pretty crude. For what I am using them for I can depict a motorbike platoon for the price of some of the other bike kits. I'm going to try to add a few tidbits to help it look a little better. Small stuff like the fender supports, brake & clutch levers/cables, and suicide shift linkage.

hello, the painting is finished. next week I'll pass filters and dust. your comments are welcome. thank . steph

Hi Guys,
Here's my start up photos it's the trusty and faithful Tamiya Zundapp for me this time.



Sal you are looking good and in the Russian campaign as well.

Hope these images are ok



cheers
Martin

looking good steph, better start mine !

paul

Ok guys this was a quick build

just shot it with some primer and it will sit down there probably till Monday before I get back to it
Dam just noticed that the axe shifted oh well ill fix that later

Hi,I began by detailing the brake cables, carburetor, the spark plug wire, the decompressor on the cylinder head. it took me two hours. I think it will start at first kick.

Finally, this is my project for the Campaign.

Hi folks,

Off to a good start,

Steff,

Looking good,

Sal,

You're well underway.

Fred,

Good start.

Cheers

Al

Hi to everybody,

I would like to know if this kit would qualify to the campaign. As you can see in the photo only part of the wheels of LionRoar's BMW R75 with sidecar have been done. In the case it wouldn't qualify I will buy a new one and take the wheels from it. I have the pieces of the different steps in zip bags because it takes far less space and it was the kit I took with me when my company sent me to work to China but as you can see in the different photos they haven't been trimmed or cut the attaching points to the sprues to the minimun.




In this photo you can see more easily what was done before the campaign started.


I will be using LionRoar's kit and will use parts of Tamiya's BMW to backdate it to an early model serving in the Afrika Korps since LionRoar is a mix of early and late model features. I also have Italeri's BMW with sidecar and as I build LionRoar's BMW will see if I need any part from it.

In the step of the engine I took the piece with the chair and made the hole to make it more authentic.



Best regards,
Angel

Very nice update Angel !
Very small PE parts you got there... I would loose some bits very easily...

I finished my Zundapp by the way,

Here goes







Tamyia kit, Tamyia & Vallejo paints and weathering done with Tamyia products too.

hi Anmoga, yes use that kit, no point in buying another kit just for the wheels.

paul

Nito74, you've set the standard high there! a lovely kit


paul

Thanks Paul.

It was a cool and quite simple build, these old Tamyia kits have fewer parts but a nice detail for it's age.

hello, thank you paul and alan, fred a good start, nitto74 superb. here is my progress

nice work steph,do you know what's bike is it (honda,kawa,susuki or yam)?

Thank you Fred. I am not an expert on bikes. For me, a motorcycle "modern" resembles another motorcycle.

Stephn, and John nice finish there guys
I have made some progress as well base coat and 1st camo color on

hope to get the redbrown on tomorrow and some work done on the rider

This biker could be very tempted by this campaign!

Fred I think the bike from the DML kit is a kawasaki KLX 650?

Good evening, thank you SAL, beautiful mount. Scott, Thanks for the info. it will deepen my knowledge. steph

Thanks Sal !
Your biuld is coming along very nice.
I just spotted on your first pic, next to the driver's seat it looks like there a grey (plastic) unpainted area, or is it the lighting/ flash..

No now that i look at it it is a spot where the dunkelgelb didnt get an you can also see the pin mark too
Ok i will have to take care of that and the figure should cover some of that up as well
