A few months ago, Masterbox Ltd. were kind enough to share images of a major WIP - their BMW Motorcycle in 1/35th scale. Now, we have been sent more images of what the final model is going to look like...
Considering the widespread use of the BMW R75 - on every front during WW2, the modeler has been abonimably served with only two (injection-moulded) kits in 1/35th scale. Both of these are showing their ages (to put it mildly) and Masterbox felt that there was a serious gap in the market for a new BMW in this scale.

The photos are the CAD drawings on which the new kit will be based. release date is going to be around June. Work has already begun on the crew figures which can be seen:

Finally, as always, our thanks to Masterbox Ltd for providing this advance 'taster'..

Ola Jim Thanks for this terrific news. This is by far one of the most interesting things to be released this year. And going from the CAD drawings it should be a really good motorcycle too. Look at the wheel... goodbye fender molded onto the wheel that earlier BMW R75's from other manufacturers had. This is definately one that I will buy... I probably will buy more then one. A Motorcycle is always usefull. Great news.. Very excited. With friendly greetz Robert Blokker
