These next three are all by or connected to
Eidai also marketed as
Grip, all are also German army, WWII.
This first shot is of the first version motorcycle and side-car, the nearest is strait from the box, the second is after a bit of a clean-up, extra tyre and a new head, the third has been given the head treatment and will be left without side-car...if it's ever finished!
This is the second version by the same company, it comes with the MG, and a proper helmet on the rider, but he still has semi-flat arms and the spare-tyre has a
mudguard?
Finally - This is a cardboard flat I made by
cutting the - in scale - artwork off the side of the box the above came in.

Eidai were an odd outfit. The kits they issued in the early 70s appeared to be a mixture of original and copied items (for example, their German armoured car looked like a Minitanks model) in both 1/76 and 1/87 scales.
ReplyDeleteThat said, their Secret German Base kit with it's lift off roof showing underground rooms, whilst not scoring top marks for realism, was a classic. Paul Keough
Yes, and if you know anyone who has a spare 'furniture & fittings' sprue from that set, I'd happily kill Blair for one!!
ReplyDeleteIf it's a colour match I'll kill Blair and Mandleson...(Joking; Mr/Ms MI5 internet trawler!! Or am I?)
