About the Vehicle:
German motorcycles with sidecars, such as the BMW R75 and Zündapp KS750, were vital to the Wehrmacht’s fast-moving Blitzkrieg tactics. Capable of navigating rough terrain and carrying a passenger or light cargo, these vehicles offered flexibility in roles ranging from dispatch riding to armed patrols and machine gun support.

Tamiya’s 1/48 scale representation is crisp and accurate, with fine detailing on the bike frame, wheels, and rider uniforms. The included figures add realism and scale context, making it a valuable piece for builders focused on dynamic battlefield scenes or German motorized units.
