I've started collecting up some of the military motorcycle kits in 1/35 scale. So far I have the Zundapp and BMW by Tamiya, the DKW by Tamiya, the dirt bike from the DML US light infantry set and the motorcycle that comes with the Tamiya Flak 88.

I think I've seen a JGSDF motorcycle by Tamiya sold separately with a couple of recon troops.

I know that Tamiya also does a German sidecar and a Harley with MP. Italeri did a pair of Harleys and a couple of German motorcycles as well.

Any others out there that I have missed?

Propaganda-Kompany ( they are French, indeed ) has released several resin models like the Indian 340B, the Harley-Davidson WLA45 and the René Gillet AX2 RM with side-car (to keep your H39 company) pictured below :


Have a look at Marc Le Bayon's website for more :

If price doesn't matter, you can also get some white metal kits made by Swash-Design, like the Triumph 3H (about $82 for one kit ) :

But quality (according to the pictures) has a price...

Do you know a link for the history of these military motorcycles? I'm mostly interested in ww2 german motorcyles, like that BMW and That Zundapp. Any information would be great
