Military modelers should be enthusiastic about this model, too. It can be an eye-catching part of an Eastern Front vignette, or an component of a larger diorama. As ubiquitous a handcars were, no doubt this model can be incorporated into scenes in other countries.



TRACK FOREMAN''S HANDCAR is a new 1/35 resin and metal model from ARMOR35.

Interesting model. What comes to mind isn't the Russian steps, but Blazing Saddles!

IIRC, though, the stereotypical US handcar had a seesaw drive, not a rowing one; the rowing handcars tended to be three-wheel designs, where the rider sat on the two-wheel side like a bicycle.
