Just joining the forum. I am primarily an aircraft builder. I like to build “representative” models instead of 100% perfect. You don’t look at the Mona Lisa with a microscope. LOL. I’ve done some scratchbuilding and been pretty happy with the results. It’s about enjoying the time. I retired from working. Now to post a request for 1/48 motorcycle wheels in the appropriate forum for a scratchbuild.
Welcome aboard [snWcm]
Thanks for the welcome. Looks like I double posted. My apologies.
Hi, Bob, welcome to the forum!
As far as your request for 1/48 motorcycle wheels goes, if it’s a military motorcycle, you could try in the Armor forum (Tamiya has an American MP motorcycle in one of their 1/48 sets, if I remember correctly); that’s probably the most pertinent. Beyond that, there’s a Diorama forum, and a Scratchbuilding forum, too.
I look forward to seeing your builds!
Best regards,
Brad
I should add that I think Bandai made an American motorcycle in one of their 1/48 sets, back in the day, but I may be misremembering that. I recently picked up a couple examples of their Jeep kit, to use the Jeeps with some of my 1/48 aircraft (one each USAAF, USN, and USMC). During my searches, I seem to recall seeing a US Army motorcycle.
Best regards,
Brad
Welcome BobR! Doing some representational modeling myslef on a couple builds. Threw some P-47D-30 decals on a P-47-D-27. When I was young there were just two types of P-47s anyway, Razorbacks and Bubbletops. I am building a Bubbltop. Hope you enjoy the Forums.
