The kit was easy to build, but took longer than I originally thought it would. The most difficult part for me was actually getting the Indy bike apart to remove the original wheels - the pins did not come out easily. In the end, Pickelhaube's spoked tires really make the bike look a lot better. Originally, I was going to paint the sidecar OD green to match the Indy bike, but then decided to go with the more accurate German gray on everything.
I decided to leave on all they stowage on the bike and so did not put on the jumpseat or all the ammo boxes. This makes the model a little less accurate, but I think it looks the part and I'm happy with the way the bike/sidecar combo came out.
I'm anxious to see the work of some of the real customizing experts! Feel free to post your photos on this thread as well
