Looking grand! How many parts will it come in?

 'H' and all.
Glad you like it. :D

The basic bike and rider are three parts. Mono wheel , rider, steering wheel with hands built on.
The aircraft Lewis gun and mounting .Two parts(strangely it would appear the mount works on other vehicles too ;) )
So in total the kit is five parts.

Mark.

Neat. I couldn't quite tell in the pic if the engine was separate or not. Pretty impressive bit of moulding with this kit!

Appart from the wonderfully impracticable stabilizers and trench legs.
I always liked the way the concept ignored the engine vents of the main illustration when they made it float. Not to mention the poor chap inside in full kit and tin hat.
But no I won't be making it . But.... I can think of a couple of ways you could. :D

I just thought very fun this one and posted here. :)
I dont want it in my collection but i will want a few of yours when they are released. :D
I´m having some crazy ideas with motorcycles with sidecars and monocycles with lots of machine guns and perhaps a big one with a kind of sidecar. o_o

Your fault... lol lol
