How Long Do I Have To Wait......

For a 1/16 German motorbike sidecar
Tamiya has done heaps of 1/16 stuff. Hell even Tasca has done one in 1/24, I thought 1/16 would be more popular than 1/24
Even Dragon could do it, they have at least done one in 1/9 or was it a Revell rebrand
I had to write this when I got excited about Tamiya's new 1/35 109, until I found it was a reissue from another company
C'mon instead of companies redoing ten versions of close to the same tank
Can some company pleeeeeese do a 1/16 German motorbike sidecar

I hear ya Mr.B!

And a JEEP!

Dragon have done a 1/6th Willys Jeep so could easily rescale to 1/16th! (It's all CAD anyway, a push of a button could make it happen..... and I've got some great aftermarket figs lined up when it does happen!)

Hasegawa release one in 1/24th................why?

Cheers,
Jon.

Hello Mr.B, I agree with you, a 1/16th Motorcycle/wSidecar would be great to see. It's been long overdue. Just think of all the different crew combinations that could be produced to go along with it. Regards, SG

I would love to see one and to the point I would happily look at figures through my range if there was one.

I love your passion and it shows, I think there will be one eventually, but with a bit of work and support, why not enquire about getting a master made and then producing, even if working with other companies.

Easy said I understand but it is really achievable and I think you will be pleasantly surprised and will get your return.

Very best wishes and always here if I can help

I've often thought about producing one but it would have to be a multi media kit and the production costs could be quite high

There is a Resin 1/16 BMW R75 with side car, its normally advertised on e-bay
Here is a link to the manufacturers website with images, think it retails for around £120, I think they are U.K based.

I couldn't agree more. I wish DML would either shrink 1/6 or expand 1/35, but there's a huge gap. Tamiya and DML both make 1/16 figs, you would think they'd bust out some vehicles too.

Now that Hobby Boss and Trumpeter seem to be expanding the range, there might be hope.

There's always Xion's kettenkrad, it's pricey, but it's Radio Controlled:

 

[MrBMB]

I have seen xion's one but didn't like how there is no room for drivers legs due to r/c parts being in the way
The funny think that seems to happen now is one company will talk about doing it and then there will be four out from every other company?
Cmon wouldnt you love to see Alpine or John Rosengrant do a great set of German winter figures to go with it, with that nice mg34/42 sitting on it. Maybe with supplies on the back spare tire.
Hurry up Tamiya/Dragon, and no more reissues of thirty year old tanks in a new box with new figures at crazy prices or German tanks that would have been in the war if it went for another ten years
2013 is the year

 

[MrBMB]

Ok 2013 wasn't the year
2015 probably won't be either
But I just saw Dragon releasing another 1/35 Puma and Panzer 3 type German tank
Tamiya and Dragon aren't listening to my thread here .......lol
Meng I am now talking to you, do a 1/16 German motorbike sidecar for 2016 please

Beautiful looking bike!

All the best,
