    Thx for the review on this bike kit Pete! I did this kit once way back in the day, as my grandpa was a MP in WW2. He got a kick out of it, although most of his patrols were in a jeep :)
    A note about the decals to pass along, if you have a color scanner and color printer, you can scan the decals to your computer to save them, them print them off on water slide decal paper. A good way to back up your decals in case they don't work, crack, etc...
    keep the great reviews coming!!

      @@PetesKits anytime! Yeah, just make sure you get waterslide decal film for printers, it's already treated and has the right adhesdive to act like kit manufactured decals...just decaying decals and still build up those older kits!

    Hi Pete
    What a pisser!
    I bought that about 46 years ago, 1st Tamiya kit that I ever got!
    Something a bit different from AIRFIX’s 1/32 figure kits.
    Great nostalgic review old mate 😂

      Hi mate. Yeah I know! Almost but not quite my first Tamiya kit. I think my first was their Panzer II in tanks, and, I think, their (very crude) German infantry set. Cheers!

      Hi mate
      I’m sorry about all of the dumb arse replies, Telstra still needs to pull their fingers out in relation to their fantastic 5G coverage over here in Perth!
      You cannot believe how far they are dragging their arses in comparison to when I was in Victoria and NSW!!
      We do however have running water and electricity mate 😂

      Yes indeed. Under Lend-Lease, Russia received around 30,000 Harley Davidsons during the war.
