Aoshima Vintage Bike Kit

[Dan Morton]

I have a 1914 Militaire motorcycle 1/16th scale plastic model kit produced by Aoshima ca. 1960s. This kit is long out of production and rare. The parts are still on their "trees" and in cellophane bags except the stand which was apparently separate and never in a bag. Black plastic and chromed plastic parts. Nothing is missing or damaged in any way. The box is in pretty good condition. The instructions, which are pretty detailed, are all in English and clearly printed. A first class model kit of an interesting, unusual motorcycle.

Would love to see this go to someone who will definitely build it and have some fun with it.

First offer over $25.00 and you pay US Postal Service postage. No auction. Drop me a PM if you're interested. I'm going to wait until next Wednesday and then it goes on e-Bay.

All the best,
Dan

Ooooh , I'd be willing to be Alex de Leon would dig this! (He's the large scale bike scratchbuilder) I'll ping him and see what he has to say.

Thanks Gordy! I'd be willing to bet that Alex has four or five of these in his stash right now.

All the best,
Dan

He just might!

He might take a bit to reply he is on the road ATM

Update: The kit is still available at the modest price of $25.00. Those of you in Europe and Asia - US postage might be twice the price of the kit. I've had two buyers - one in UK and one in Spain that have declined because of the postage costs. FYI.

All the best,
Dan

Last chance on the Aoshima bike. Tomorrow it goes on e-Bay.

All the best,

Dan,

Thank you for thinking of me.
I just got back in town to answer your post and yes I do have a couple of those kits plus a few of the Harley and Ace bikes. I was collecting them for a while until I started to build 1/9th scale.
Good luck on the sale at e-bay.
