Tamiya 35384 1/35 German KS600 Motorcycle with Sidecar and 3 Soldiers

This model kit in 1/35 scale recreates the KS600 motorcycle & sidecar as used by German forces during World War II. During WWII, the German Army employed the powerful motorcycle for messenger and reconnaissance missions. The KS600 is one of the best- known in the 600cc class, as it featured lightweight, rigid pressed steel frames, plus a horizontally opposed 2-cylinder 597cc engine and 4-speed transmission. It was often used with a sidecar. Production started in 1938, and KS600 saw action from early until late WWII.
