Looking through some old magazines I saw some neat looking sidecar racing outfits that would look neat next to my regular bike models. Anyone know of any kits that were or are in production? Did a Tamiya search but nothing came up.
I remember the, I think it was 1/8 scale Hasegawa BMW with sidecar, but it was a WW II German military version. And I’ve seen military in smaller scales. Don’t know if they convert though. I suppose if you have the ambition…
Protar made a 1/9 scale 1961 BMW racer that is available, sometimes on eBay.
Try here for this kit.

As far as a modern racer, no such luck!
Scott,
Maybe this is your cue to scratchbuild. Check out the April 2004 issue of FSM. The Reader Gallery sections has a nice kit-bashed modern sidecar racer by Peter Downes of Ontario. Cool.
PS: Can somebody tell me how to post a picture in the message window??(I would have scanned and uploaded the pic if I knew how!)

there’s lots of tips for adding pictures in the FAQ section. It’ll tell you how.
