does anyone make German motorcycles and sidecars in 28mm?
-
Warlord (Bolt Action) make a nice BMW R75 with sidecar. Foundry make a BMW R35 that's a wee small (though to scale) that comes in sidecar or solo configuration. Black Tree make a nice sidecar rig as well but its pretty large (IMHO). Westwind makes one as does Battle Honors - but theirs are not particularly nice
-
Artisan makes one too - strange proportions
-
Hongwell make some really cheap but not bad quality BMWs

I think Honeywell makes the R75 side car in Afrika Corps markings. I got two and the eBay a while back and they are really nice and hold up well in gamin'

Yep, they do, 3W11.
It's Hongwell not Honeywell, by the way. They're also known as Cararama.
I couldn't find them on the site: http://www.hongwell.com/index1.htm (http://www.hongwell.com/index1.htm) but I have a few of them and I know that's where they came from.

What scale are these Hongwell? BTW the black bike represents a postwar R25 - not WW2
-
Yep, that's them. I believe they are 1/48 or 1/43. They really fit well with the stuff I have which is heroic 28mm.
