Just bought the FOV Zundapp motorcycle with sidecar on EBAY (not the Polish version but the grey paint scheme). Anybody bought a sidecar motorcycle from FOV before? Looks super cool in pics but I wanna get a bit of firsthand knowledge so I know what to expect

Unfortunately, my Dad bought this thing for a Christmas present so I can't open it till then
BTW Wouldn't it be cool if FOV made a US motorcycle like a kiowa or something? Or a rubber boat that'd be cool too. Or a ketten krad that'd be even cooler... I could go on for a while like this

I bought a loose FOV Zundapp off e-bay and was disappointed in it's frailty. Of course to look good it couldn't be too beefy but I darn near destroyed it getting the rider in place. I have had it in a box for the last year waiting repair.
It is a nice piece and if I had bought it NIB it may not nearly have been as bad.

I posted this a while back and did some touch ups recently, but it's a customized 1:32 Indian that was found in Walmart last year.
