E.T. Model E35-166 WWII German Bicycle (For TAMIYA Kit) (1/35) – WWII German bicycle, photo-etched parts

E.T. Model E35-166 WWII German Bicycle is a high-quality set of photo-etched details designed specifically for the German bicycle model from World War II in 1/35 scale, which is compatible with the TAMIYA kit. The precisely crafted photo-etched parts allow for realistic detailing of both the thin elements of the frame and the bicycle’s accessories, accurately capturing the characteristic features of the original construction with attention to detail.

During World War II, bicycles were widely used by the German army (Wehrmacht), primarily by infantry and reconnaissance units. They enabled quick movement of personnel, transport of equipment, or delivery of messages on both the Eastern and Western fronts, especially in places where the use of motor vehicles was difficult. The German military employed several bicycle models, which were used both in the rear and directly at the front lines, and their versatility made them indispensable until the end of the war.

In the E.T. Model E35-166 set, you receive perfectly cut, ultra-thin metal sheets that replicate even the smallest details such as brackets, rack, pedals, or frame supports. They allow for advanced enhancement of any plastic model, providing durability and an exceptionally realistic final effect. This product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to enrich their dioramas, layouts, and vehicle models with historical, authentic accents.

The assembly difficulty level I estimate at 3/5 – it requires precise cutting, bending, and assembly of the parts, as well as knowledge of working with photo-etched details. Thanks to this set, you can raise your model’s finish to a museum-quality level.

I highly recommend E.T. Model E35-166 WWII German Bicycle to every historical modeling enthusiast and fans of German WWII military vehicles who expect top-class details and want to give their models unique character!
