Master Box 1/35 WWII German Motorcycle and Sidecar

Post by Peter1512 »

I have been building the Master Box 1/35 German WWII motorcycle and sidecar and have found it to be one of the most challenging projects I have ever attempted
The parts seem to be made from a very brittle type of plastic and I broke several removing them from the sprues
There was a lot of flash on the parts which was as bad as models made during the 1960’s
The parts on the sprues are not numbered so you had to look at the instructions sheet to see which part was which
The instructions were very unclear as to the positioning of parts and how they fitted together and I have still not worked some out
I almost gave up halfway through and binned it
I had previously built the Tamiya 1/48 version which was a dream and also included figures which the Master Box did not
I had read some positive reviews of this version so was surprised to find so many problems
I would be interested to know if any of you have views about this kit
