There's a really nice one among the Great War Miniatures packs, but again, it's pricey. Otherwise, good friggin' luck.
-
You should probably search for plastic model kits, although there are likely some motorcyles in various lines of WW2 vehicles and figures.
-
Thanks chaps,hadn't thought to look at Foundry ,will do.
-
Company B makes a very nice Japanese motorcycle including some with side cars on the left. Just do a head conversion to add a British Helmet.

Go to Japanese section.
Here is my version

It'd sure be keen to get a Brough Superior, or even an old BSA or such in 28mm.
-
Matt there on the list for 2016.until then theres these with little work will do for the BEF in France pre 1940
-
Oh shoot, I thought someone had linked 1st corps already in this thread, otherwise I'd have done so already.
-
There was a guy on here who was building one from scratch. If you can wait a wee bit I believe Fenris Games are in the process of getting it cast.

Those ones were a bit modern for us, Andy ;)
-
Those 1st Corps ones are rather special. The Foundry pack is quite nice and I don't think pricey myself.

I've trawling for printer friendly pulp-ish motorcycle cad-files for a while now, no luck so far.

Oops! My bad! I got to this thread through my "unread posts", I didn't realise what board I was on! ::)
-
I do like the Foundry one although the phone box is wrong colour for this part of the world.Here's a couple of conversions using the ones I did for 1st Corps.you can modify mud guards and fuel tanks to a later style without any heartache ,There will be a few more motorcycles and combos add early next year some for WW1 and some for WW2 .
Mark.

Here's one of Pappa Midnights takes on the side car combo.
-
And dont Forget Black Tree Designs ww2 german motorcycles. Probably cheaper than others and very nice.

I used the RAFM one then invented a back-story explaining how the Wiltshire police ended up with 10 of them :D

History is full of this kind of thing - the Rough Riders went to San Juan Hill with a couple of new Colt machine guns that had been given to them by the wealthy father of one of the 'gentlemen rankers'. Tiffany, I've heard, although I don't know if that's true or not.
-
Had a thought - would 'O' gauge model railway stuff work? I have a lot of etched brass frets of bicycles and motorcycles in 'OO', my chosen addiction, and I think several companies do the larger ones...
-
Some might. Really depends on the model & manufacturer.
-
Very Nice !!!
For myself, I use a Tamiya Model Kit (1/48°) which is very nice and relatively cheap.
