Tamiya 35240 - 1/35 German Soldiers with Bicycles 田宮軍事模型軍事製品 雙星孖星  [35240]

The Wehrmacht, focused on mechanization during WWII, was accelerating the deployment of bicycles as a simple means of transportation. Many bicycle manufacturers in Germany produced bicycles for military use, so various types could be seen. However, the main parts of the bicycles were standardized to facilitate the easy replacement of parts. Most of the bicycles were equipped with a luggage carrier at the rear and a storage box for ammunition and grenades in the middle of the frame.
