Historical Description – BMW R-12 and its role in history

The German BMW R-12 motorcycle was one of the most popular two-wheelers used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. Production of the R-12 — mainly by BMW — began in 1935 and lasted until 1942. Used by German forces on all fronts, from the French campaign through Russia to North Africa, the R-12 was known for its reliability and ease of use in all terrain conditions. Often equipped with a sidecar, it served as a means of transportation for scouts, couriers, and field reconnaissance units.

The model faithfully reproduces characteristic elements such as the suspension system, engine details, fuel tank, and sidecar, making it an excellent base for dioramas or standalone collector displays. The set includes decals for personalising military markings and identifiers.
