1/35 dirt bikes??
Posted by alfaspud on Saturday, March 6, 2010 11:43 PM

Anyone know if there are any 1/35 dirt bikes available that aren't military? I've had no luck searching online.I need a couple for a dio I'm planning.

Thx Smile

Good luck finding any dirt bikes at all! I"ve been whining about them not making some for years now. The most you can find is some 1/24 ones on ebay every now and then--old bikes, like 70's models. They usually come from an old kit that had one in it. I put one in the back of my Chevy S10 build a while back.

Nice bike mate! Cool

I guess I'll have to go with the 1/35 Dragon offering, the bikes will be in the back of a vehicle so if they're not painted OD, they might look ok.

Here is a kit by Dragon w/dirtbike ,doesnt look too hard to de-militarize , just the usual m/c detail problems in imp kits.This other is anew one from Mini-Art ,just got from my LHS , 1/35 WLA this is prolly the best 1/35 imp m/c kit out there .P/E for the spokes and fender struts ,both with included forming jigs! The gas /oil tanks have at least 10 p/e parts alone! Really nice.I know its not the answer to your post but there is the kit details  to see .dirtbikie1.jpg picture by krow113wla1.jpg picture by krow113wla2.jpg picture by krow113

Yes the HD kit is great ,one thing (and not a complaint) there is no representation for the oil & gas lines , or the spark control cable and throttle cable.Wierd considering the level of detail supplied in the kit. I just got in the mail from france/ebay my 1/9 Protar 250 cc HD world champion kit ,cool kit with metal frame rubber bits, and springs etc. It was expensive but watching ebay and seeing the prices of the good bike kits I'm ok with it. I watch for the bike kits there are few that are good.

Thank you ,Krow113

A couple of years ago I was going through my stash and came across these Itelari 1/35 Army motorcycles. I decided to try and civilianize them. Never did finish them up.  Ken
