Italeri 7402 Triumph 3HW 1/9 Scale Model Kit  [IT-7402S]

Italeri 7402 1/9 Triumph 3HW Overview for Scale Modellers

This Italeri 7402 kit represents the Triumph 3HW, a motorcycle adapted from the civilian Tiger 80 and widely used by British dispatch riders. The kit aims to capture the bike's wartime silhouette and practical features.

Operational Background and Detail

When World War II created a need for reliable short range communication, motorcycles like the Triumph 3HW became essential. Known for its overhead valve engine and parallel fork layout, the 3HW served in many campaigns and continued in service in the post-war period in places such as Italy and Greece.

What Model Builders Will Notice

The 1/9 scale allows for fine surface detail and realistic military fittings that distinguish the 3HW from its civilian origins, making the kit rewarding for those who enjoy careful assembly and painting.
