Watched Saving Private Ryan this afternoon and there’s a BMW motorcycle combination all beat up in the final battle scene which set my mind running. I know I’ve got an olde Tamiya in the loft so will break open the box sometime next week. Stock photo to start the thread  Is it me or does the fella in the sidecar look like Tom Cruise?   |

Thanks fellas and welcome along. I braved the loft and found the kit, it must have been up there for 20 years as the box has almost fallen apart Start sticking tomorrow |

That's Tom alright. I'm leaving the loft for the kids to sort out after I've snuffed it.

Yeah. I made the 1/48 early last year. I like this duo a lot. It reminds me of the movie La grande vadrouille starring Louis de Funés. |
