As part of the Command Decision 3 Table of Equipment for British Airborne Forces, each Paratroop Battalion gets a Motorcycle SMG Platoon. I have accordingly thrown a couple of Platoon stands together.
Fujimi Harley Davidson (They were the only motorbikes I had) and Revell figure.
And the other Platoon Stand with with the squatting ESCI Sten gunner. I thought that having the Motorcycle on the ground with the Paratrooper next to it saves making a dismounted Stand as well.
These were a nice distraction to the Airborne Jeeps, but good progress is being made in that arena.
Nice idea and it looks quite cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mork, their on table action may be short however!
ReplyDeleteLaying the bike down is a good choice - less chance of it being damaged too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a matter of style mate!
ReplyDeleteLeave aside their usefulness! They look good (so are the jeeps also) and that's what counts!!!

Yes thats a good point Tim. Unlike the sidecar combos these are hard to pin.

Clever idea !
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of Fujimi bikes somewhere around.....(he says, rubbing his hands together)
Nice work again, Paul!
ReplyDeleteNice idea I had not thought of using them as a recon marker, I was just thinking of "mounting" somebody on them
ReplyDeleteVery impressed
Hi John, I think the Fujimi Zundapp would make a nice BSA conversion.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Cheers Monty. Nice to work on these to tell the truth.
ReplyDeleteRegards Paul
Oh Geordie, get your mind out of the gutter! Mounting somebody indeed!
ReplyDeleteNice one.
