Kradschutzen: Ger. motorcycle troops, 1/35 - Master Box Ltd. 3548F

The reference Master Box Ltd. 3548F depicts Kradschützen, German motorcycle soldiers from the Second World War, in 1/35 scale. This injection-plastic kit combines a motorcycle with a BMW R75 sidecar and figures, letting you build a moving troops scene.

Motorcycle units played a reconnaissance, liaison, and support role for German ground formations during the conflict. The BMW R75 with sidecar is among the iconic German military vehicles of this period and is a popular subject for 1/35 dioramas.

The set includes four figures, a motorcycle with sidecar, and a small photo-etched fret intended for detailing the spoked wheels. The figures make it possible to portray two crews, with uniforms suited to summer or winter conditions.

At 1/35 scale, every dimension of the real subject is reduced by a factor of 35. This reference can be integrated into a Second World War military setting, either on its own or alongside a vehicle, a column, or a reconnaissance scene.

Building a plastic model requires precision tools, suitable glue, and careful preparation of the parts. Primer then makes painting easier, while a light weathering can highlight the raised details of the uniforms, the motorcycle’s mechanical components, and the worn look of a field scene.
