Thanks!

There are some Welbike options around already but I do like the trolly, an item that hasn't been done before as best I know.

Al

the boxart shows a PIAT & rounds in the trolly? None in the kit?

The Piat is included and is a multi piece offering including a photo etched loading point.

Am I the only one who can't justify the £20 + price tag? I'm still hoping Bronco will release all their existing para figures separately from the rest of the kits. They are all on their own sprues so I'm sure it's possible.

A lot of British WW2 Paratrooper kits have been featuring bikes and Welbikes. I have done some research into this and I have not found a lot of reference to widespreads use of these. Can anyone substantiate this?

I would love to have a Para breaking out an MG or other equipment from the parachute container instead of a folded minibike

Totally agree. Tristar, Dragon and tamiya have already covered the bikes. I would have preferred a vickers, a mortar, a radio or a medical set.

With the frequency of the appearance of Biccycles and Welbikes one would think it was a regular occurance. In my reading the Welbikes were outdated with the introduction of the Horsa glider where they can offload jeeps and full size motorcycles.
