Any Allied Military Motorcycle kits ?~~Pricey Triumph found ~~
Posted by *INDY on Monday, August 24, 2009 11:55 PM

You guys know of ANY? - besides this old kit we all know?

I've built it, its ok. I once saw a 2 bike US kit but not again, in a long time. Theres lots of choices if you want to build a 1/35 scale BMW75 or a Zundap, but that's it for bikes. The U.S Army use of the Harley has always been of interest to me, not to mention the cool British bikes.   Maybe they exist in resin or metal?     Anything would help......

Lets see - ones I can remember - Heller did a Rhone-Gnome, Italeri did a Harley-Davidson, and I know there was a resin British bike done - but can't remember who produced it.

I found this one:

At Internet Hobbies ( I ordered from them once) -5 weeks to get my order!

Not getting much response to my question(I guess no one knows of any?)

Thanks to you though Bronto, I'll try to find any of those.....

Was this the Italari ?

Looks great but it's 1/9 scale, not what Im after.

The 1/35 Bilek set is the same one Italeri sold.  Bilek and Italeri have been reboxing eachothers kits for a while now. 

The 1/9th Italeri is a rebox of an Imex Harley.  It is pretty good.  I built it a while ago.  It has some later features, but looks pretty impressive when done.

Ah, this is sounding like some information--thanks guys 1 But really-there isn't much in 1/35, huh? Anybody buy a Triumph or Indian if I mould a kit?

Well, they're on the small side, but Tristar has a kit with Welbikes. Preview here.

I found this kit a couple years ago at an "old school" LHS.

 

 

It contains 2 motorcycles and the figures. Its an older kit, but it seems to have pretty good detail.

 Yup, the same kit as the Bilek ones, just in the Italeri boxing.

 ~ Michael at the MM site found some KILLER metal Triumph 3 HW 's

 

3 versions

From :   http://www.swash-design.com/index.html   But  at 8,900 Yen  or $99   !!!!!!!!!! This is no answer still.

beautiful but too pricey for me     (someone check Hans he may have just passed-out at the price)

Anybody ever see any 1/35 or 1/32 scale model Triumphs, Nortons, Armstrongs, Indians or Harleys(beside those above)............anybody
