Schweres Kraftrad mit Beiwagenantrieb (E)

Recensione del Modello Matchbox / Revell in Scala 1:76

The picture shows un BMW R75 without sidecar. Il modello è facilmente convertito in a solo machine, leaving the sidecar off, e removing the attachment points on the frame. The rider has been equipped con an MP40, a map case, ed altri oggetti dell’equipaggiamento one would expect to see on a soldier. Motorcyclists typically wore the rubberized overcoat, e there are pictures of it in use even nel Nordafrica. Dressed as he is, wearing the early war temperate uniform con closed collar, this man is probably riding the BMW in perfect weather. The goggles are a typical item of equipaggiamento worn nell’Europa ed on the dusty roads of North Africa o the Russian plains.

Contenuto

• Afrikakorps fanteria motorizzata
• Motocarrozzetta BMW R75
• 7.5 cm L.46 PaK 40 Anti-Tank Gun
• Semicingolato Sd.Kfz. 11 e Crew

Valutazione

• Excellent choice of subject. The motocarrozzetta BMW R75 was a standard military motocarrozzetta, it features prominently in many pictures e movies.
• Scale model con acceptable detail. The entire frame is a one-piece casting, e some simplifications have been made.
• Easy to build, only 9 parts. The model is much easier to put together than some of the more detailed motociclette on the market. The result is good enough for simulations games, even if it may not satisfy the purist.
• The rider is an excellent figure, although he could use a few oggetti dell’equipaggiamento personale, ed an MP40. The model is probably most useful as a solo machine carrying a traffic controller o dispatch rider, because the man is looking sideways e signaling to other traffic. There is no passenger for the sidecar, ed it is not fitted con una mitragliatrice.
• The kit includes decalcomanie of the 15. e 21. Panzerdivision in North Africa, but the vehicle crew soldatini are actually more suitable for the European theater of operations.
• Compatibile con Airfix, Fujimi, Nitto, e VAC-U-CAST.

• Parts of the frame are filled in, e they will prove difficult to drill open. Altri modellini di motociclette in this scale are more detailed, but this is a very serviceable model.
• The tires of the BMW are without tread o spokes, but those of the sidecar are nicely detailed. If the model is deployed as a solo machine, spare tires scrounged from the sidecar may be used to build affusti for the Austrian 3.7 cm Infanteriekanone M.31, e the German 7.5 cm Leichtgeschütz 1 which was issued to Fallschirmjäger paras, e Gebirgsjäger mountain troops.
• The rider is dressed in the early war temperate uniform instead of the tropical uniform worn by the Afrikakorps.
• Modellers should not be mislead about the fact that i veicoli in this boxed set are actually 1:76 scale Matchbox re-releases.

The Matchbox model of the motocarrozzetta BMW R75 is a quick ed easy kit for simulation gamers, but expert modellers will find it lacking in detail. The rider is in a very versatile pose, he may be used as a vehicle crew member of the Sd.Kfz. 251 Schützenpanzerwagen APC.
