Compact Transport for Airborne Troops in 1/35 Scale

To improve post-drop mobility British paratroopers adopted a foldable bicycle that could be stowed during flight and carried on landing. The compact frame folded down via a hinge so troops could move quickly across terrain. This 1/35 Tamiya kit recreates that practical tool and provides modellers with a tight, detail-rich subject for workshops and shows.

Parts, Poses and Period Detail

The kit comes with two bicycles that builders can choose to assemble folded or open, plus separate components for handles and pedals to enhance authenticity. Two figure options are supplied, showing different actions around the bikes, and alternate headgear and arm fittings let you vary posture and story. The parts are suited to weathering, light chipping and small-scale accessory work.

What tools are best for trimming the small parts?

A sharp hobby knife, fine sprue cutters and a sanding stick are recommended for clean removal of small components and for preparing parts before glue and paint.

Is extra detailing required to make the figures realistic?

The kit has good base detail, but many modellers add extra washes, drybrushing and tiny decals or aftermarket bits to raise realism in close-up displays.
