Am looking to do an early war German recon force so wanted to get some motorbikes with / without sidecars. Was going to use the above mentioned models but my usual interweb sellers do not seem to stock them – nor a few others that I have tried. Does anyone know if there ae still in production? If not, I guess I will use the Zezda models for the sidecar ones. Any ideas on who produces just motorcycles? In metal if I have to? Cheers |

Brittania, Revell, Hät, Zvesda. I think I like Revell the best. Here's all of the plastic ones together. Front row is Revell, back right is Hät, back left is Zvesda [URL=http://s974.photobucket.com/user/rbliss999/media/null_zpsb226dd45.jpg.html]

I personally don't like how soft the plastic is for the armorfast one (don't get me wrong, I still have them and use them!) I love the Zvezda one, but it is more expensive. I think I put together a Revell one, and it was king of fiddly. I'd say, if you're doing a bunch, go with armourfast. if just one ore 2, I'd do zvezda. I haven't messed with any metals, so I cant speak for them. |

Don't the Revell look all Africa Korpsie? Or painted grey do they work? And can anyone confirm that the Armourfast are in production as my first cursory search could not see them for sale on the web? Adam |

Revell would look OK in FeldGrau, I figure. |

Hi All Although the motorbikes were sold in Armourfast boxes, they have always been HaT products, this goes back to when HaT was distributing for us. They are still available but through HaT. Hope this helps Tracy

I cannot recall Revell releasing a German motorcycle set – or have they re-packaged this Italeri set? link |

thanks for that, I was just about to ask the same question, I must admit I don't normally do plastics but they look good |

Can anyone confirm if any of the plastic sets are still in production and if so point me to a web based shop that is selling them. My google fu may be weak but I cant find any on the web. |

Search Hat 8127 – lots of finds I think |

Thanks. Tried it and only a few links with 'not in stock'….. |
looks at another D-Day: German set for Flames of War.
