Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi All,

I`ve not seen anyone else post these on here so hopefully this hasn`t been done already.

As you know i`ve made 2 sidecar combos. Well trawling on ebay last week & saw a 1/18th diecast sidecar combo.

So i took the gamble of buying it & it`s arrived today.

The only stuff on the box it came in is:- "SIDECAR Collection 1/18" & on the make the only sign of makers i could find was "Toys4U".

So here`s a few photos of it.

First 2 are compared to my custom Sidecar combo.....




Rest of the bought model.






Right the good thing about this bike it`s mainly plastic which means it`s easy to strip down all the facy stuff for a barebones Military version.
The sidecar too is plastic so reshaping it ie cutting down the rear,making side opening etc will again be easy to achieve.

This is the ebay item I bought & the seller is here if you want to get in touch with him. I now say I don`t know this seller but have just done a 100% successfull ebay deal so that`s all I can say on him.

Bonnet,
The one you bought on e-bay, is it a true 1/18 scale, will a figure fit inside the side car without taking the legs off, I have been thinking about getting a couple of these to customize for a while, I picked up a couple of the 1/18 Die-cast Maybach zeppelin cars a while back to make staff cars but it was impossible to fit a figure into the driver seat, It was a pain in the -%$#^- To customize it so a figure would fit, so I was wondering about the cycles with sidecars.

Hun,

They do indeed look true scale mate & as for figures in the sidecar,if you alter the seat they`ll fit in easily.
A figure can fit in as is but it`s akward. Thinning the seat instead of the luxery padded one works really well.

I actually went & bought a second,so i have my custom 2 & 2 of these now

I found a 1/18 cycle/sidecaqr combo with some PTE stuff. I checked out a German 1st series figure and he fit in the side car great. I found a GI JOE figure for a driver, since non of the 21Century figures can bend right to fit on the motorcycle. I will have to post a pic. Away right now. But will do when I return Friday.

Hey Razor,
Never seen the PTE sidecar combo I don`t think,so don`t forget to show photos of it with rider & passenger
