Scotties big Zundapp

[scottie3158]

I managed to pick this up for a very good price at our local model show. The build on my Krupp has stalled a little so I thought this might help me get back the mojo. It is not a scale I am used to but gives great scope to give things a tweak.

This is the Italeri offering. The box contains 6 large sprues moulded in light grey, I clear sprue, one soft plastic sprue with saddle and seat parts, four vinyl tires and finally a bag of springs and other small parts. The instructions are in booklet form and the decals give you a choice of four finishes.











I'm just waiting for the brass wire I have ordered to replace the kit spokes.


cheers

I got this in the stash Scottie
I got as far as putting the sidecar halves together and base coating it.....that was probably about 18 months ago!!
I'll follow this for sure, it looks a great kit with loads of potential for scratching the finer details....will you be respoking the wheels? That bit scared me!!

Yes mate I'm going to give it a go. I will start with the spare wheel so if I get it wrong I can cover it with a tarp or something later lol.

I've seen this kit quite a few times but always resisted. I'm sure it will build up well. Good idea to replace the spokes. Even at this scale the kit wheels need improvement. I look forward to seeing how this goes.
