Well, this one was a challenge for me in 1/35 scale. These were leftovers from John Fords collection. Mixture of, I believe Italeri and Tamiya components. I believe these kit were from the same molds? Anyway, since I didn't have directions on the side car, I had to rely on the photos I found on the internet. Building this taught me some about how it functioned mechanically. I had not realized that the side car wheel was powered from the motorcycle through it own transmission.
I added missing details like SOME of the wiring and cables for throttle and ignition. The side car didn't have the machinegun mount so I found parts and stowage to put that together.
I didn't have decals so needed to go to my decals scraps to find the suitable markings.
