Detail Images
Views of solo R12.
Sidecar frame fitted to cycle, it's best to fit the frame before adding the sidecar
to see the attachment points for easier fitting.

over fit of parts is excellent.
Rider and "passenger" fitted showing good sit of the figure and pig carcass.
The riders right knee may need minor trimming to clear the sidecar wall but this depends
on the figure assembly. The actual image of the scene included with the instructions shows two leather
cases on the front of the side, but only the one is supplied in the kit.
The rider figure that comes with hands already moulded with a second handlebar included
The machine gunner added to the sidecar.
The full figure fits very snugly into the sidecar but unfortunately if you assembly the MG34 mounting (part A14)
as indicated in the instructions the MG34 will not align with the figures hands and shoulder as per the image.
If you reverse the position of the mounting it moves the MG34 further forward allowing it to fit the figure better.
