The BMW R75 and its sidecar are emblematic of German military mobility in World War II. This Italeri 1/35 scale kit provides a compact but detailed model that reflects the operational use of the bike across different fronts, from scouting missions to light transport duties.
In the 1940s the Wehrmacht moved to motorised formations, making motorcycles like the BMW R75 valuable for rapid movement. Along with the Zundapp KS 750, roughly 16,500 R75 units were produced. The design supported speeds up to about 92 km/h, and the sidecar often housed an MG 34 for defensive action.
Model builders will appreciate the kit's precise parts and scale detail. When assembled and painted the 1/35 model offers a faithful display piece that captures the R75's military character.
