Tamiya 35241 - 1/35 WWII DKW NZ 350/1 Motorcycle Model Kit  [35241]

Orderly Motorcycle Replica in 1/35 Scale

The Tamiya 35241 set recreates the DKW NZ 350/1 that saw service with Wehrmacht units during World War II. Its lightweight frame and responsive handling made it valuable for scouting and message runs across varied theatres.

Origins and Model Interest

DKW built a reputation in the 1930s for efficient two-stroke machines. The military NZ 350/1 used reinforced components, including a cast engine block and added frame braces to improve ride stability for courier roles, though it had limits off-road.

Assembly and Finish

This 1/35 scale kit from Tamiya presents crisp moulding and period detail, offering realistic surfaces for weathering and paint work. Assembly requires glue and some finesse, making it a rewarding subject for modellers who like accurate, small-scale military vehicles.
