actuallly Andrea's bike with sidecar is 90mm scale, which is 1/20, not 1/18, despite what it says on the site. It would be noticeably small compared to xd, especially if you were to try to put 1/18 figures on/into it. Looks like a beautiful model though.
It's also a kit, that has to be built, not a finished model. The finished version is $1000.

The best option right now is to get a Maisto 1/18 Harley with sidecar model and convert it. There was one shown on ebay recently and with some effort it can look fairly decent.

How`s this for a Sidecar combo
I`ve customized this one for a fellow board member. need to add Pannions & Shroud on the headlight.
I removed the original sidecar seat & inserted the seat you now see.Works better for figure seating.Also cut the entry side into the Sidecar.
I removed the glass windshield on the sidecar & kept the handle.Made a mount for the MG42.
I trimmed the Mudguard on the sidecar. Made a mount for the spare wheel (removable BTW).

Thank`s guys & Glad you like it. Hope the intended reciepent will love this too
BTW the actual bike was this (This is the guy I get them from & he`s aces in my books).

Hope staff don`t mind the link. Just needed to show the bike as it was originally & well as said this ebay seller has done me proud with the one`s I`ve bought from him. If it`s not welcomed please delete.
So all 21st have to do is buy one strip it & rework it as I have for the same effect but Better.As they have all the right tools & guys to use them than little old me
