Bergheil Jan!
Nice conversion of the Young Gebirgsjäger bust! Almost looks like Lloyd Bridges, as Herr Hein, from the 1950 movie "The White Tower."
Horrido!

Bought the Truppenfahrrad from a friend of mine who is a bicycle collector here in the US. He had it shipped from Germany I believe. Masovia bicycles were built in Königsberg, East Prussia. They are somewhat of a rare bird. Here's a German website about the maker...
Truppenfahrrad vor!
Nice looking kit and thanks for posting the video open box review. Just wish there was a 1/16th scale version.

Horrido!

Reminds me of the old 1971 TV series "Bearcats!" Though they used some Stutz Bearcats for patrols. Look forward to seeing the finished diorama!
