Pietro De AngelisHi Mathias,
every time I see it again I enjoy your amazing dio,
only the work you did on those old figures is commendable,
only note,
premise,
starting from my low modeling skills and my historical knowledge i would never allow myself to criticize the work of modelers much better than me,
but the BMW R75 was only available to the German army from the end of 1942, it would have been better to use a BMW R12 for example,
however nothing could change the opinion of your splendid work.
A greeting

Rui SFrom my album.
In 1941 the production of civilian motorcycles was stopped. Germany was at war and production was adjusted to the needs of the Wehrmacht. BMW motorcycles have always been popular with authorities - and thus also with the military. Single-cylinder models were used as light courier and training machines, and the R 12 was delivered to the Wehrmacht as a side car.
However, the war policy of the Germans required a motorcycle Side car that could be safely mastered on any surface - mud, ice, gravel, desert sand - and that required only little maintenance even at extreme temperatures and heavy loads. In addition, the motorcycle should also be able to cope with longer distances at low marching speeds without any problems.
No German motorcycle manufacturer had such a machine in their range, which is why a special development order was placed with BMW and Zündapp. In the winter of 1938, BMW began work on this project based on the R 71 engine. The beams of the bolted tubular frame were divided. This enabled the engine to be installed and removed quickly, as the lower frame part could simply be folded away. A rear wheel suspension was omitted for better stability. But while the frame proved itself during the test drives, there were thermal problems with the side-controlled motor in off-road use and on longer trips at walking speed. So BMW developed a new engine.
The result was a 750 cc unit with an output of 26 hp at 4000 rpm. The engine developed an enormous torque and, since it had a very low compression ratio of 5.8:1, it could also easily tolerate poor-quality or synthetically produced fuel. In contrast to the R 71 engine, no heat problems occurred during testing, so that the R 75 could go into series production in 1941.
And
Series production of the R 75 begins
date from07.1941.
Description
In July 1941, the first R 75 sidecars rolled off the assembly line in Munich. However, after production was relocated from Munich to Eisenach in June/July 1942, the majority of the R 75 was manufactured in Thuringia. The R 75, with seven forward and two reverse gears and a powered sidecar, was specially developed and produced for the German Wehrmacht.

Pietro De AngelisI'm so sorry Rui,
thanks so much for the explanation,
you're absolutely right,
i purposely included the premise about my limited historical knowledge,
all you had to do was go and read wikipedia...
I remembered 1942 but BMW had already been in production for a year,
in 1942 after the superiority of the Zundapp KS750 was now clear the army asked to unify production by coupling the Zundapp KS750 to the BMW 286/1 sidecar, mea culpa...
Thanks again and congratulations on your historical knowledge

Nik WatsonAbsolutely superb job, an interesting aircraft I really must get one for my stash.

Mike Goodman"A complicated linkage of reduction gears, ball bearings, couplings and shafts resulted in the P-39 coming to life like no other airplane when started. With the self-control of an excited puppy, the Airacobra would shake, shiver and shimmy as if genuinely atwitter at the prospect of going flying." (Warplanes to Alaska, Blake W. Smith)

wilkyAnother masterpiece.
There is an A7V in Australia.
We Aussies are good at pinching, I mean acquiring things
27 April 2019, 09:25
gorbyThanks mates. 🙂
Wim: I wasn't impressed with the Gasoline range either and certainly not impressed with the prices. Mine cost probably 1/3 of what that kit cost and I enormously enjoyed the built – probably more so than any kit I've ever done.
Wilky: At least the Aussies had the sense to save one – I'm glad they did.
27 April 2019, 09:44
Rui SBeautifully amazing 👍
Umbeliveble scratch work.
Not my scale but I'M without words. Incredible
27 April 2019, 11:49
gorbyThanks Rui. Coming from one of the best armour modellers on here, that means a lot. 🙂
27 April 2019, 12:10
Alec KHoly s#*t Gorby. This is AmazIng! I am about halfway done reading the brexit thread and... the rivets, THE RIVETS!!! Very educational, and definitely very entertaining. Not surprised you left this boring lot for the "others"😉 😄. I am starting a scratchbuilding project myself, but it will be of kinder garden variety compared to your undertaking. Cheers 👍
27 April 2019, 13:10
Nathan DempseyWow, impressive work Gorby. The build log on Brexit is awesome. I'm going to use that rivet idea for sure! Oh and I did get the Kryten reference. I saw an episode filmed!
27 April 2019, 14:01
gorbyThanks very much mates!😉
The rivets were far from the most enjoyable part of the build but these early tanks would look naked without them. I'll look forward to your scratch-build Alec, no doubt it will be astounding.
27 April 2019, 15:42
Rui SThank you for your nice words gorbygould, but I think they're a bit exaggerated. I've still a lot to learn with Mates here, including with you 🙂
28 April 2019, 13:38
gorbyWith forums like this, there is always something new to learn - if you want to. 🙂

Scott DuttonBeautiful work, just finished one in 35th but doesn't compare well done
2 May 2019, 11:32
Bart Goesaertbeautiful work.. only thing that comes to mind is the floating of the tank on the barbwire... but very, very nice build and groundwork...
2 May 2019, 12:00
gorbyThanks very much mates. 🙂
Scott: I was well impressed with your build and I referred to your photos to help with mine, so thanks.
Bart: Yes that bugs me as well. I did put a load of lead inside the tank, but it isn't heavy enough to weigh it down sufficiently. I'm going with the experimental super extra heavy-duty barbed wire excuse.😉
2 May 2019, 13:14
Scott DuttonIf need any more photos let me know, colleague just sent some from his museum visit of the original wh9ch he is happy I can pass on
2 May 2019, 20:56
gorbyThanks for the offer Scott but I've mentally moved on to my new project. 🙂
My workroom needs to be stripped and rebuild before that can start though. 🙁
3 May 2019, 14:11
bughunterTanks are not my metier, but this 100% scratched model is really impressive 😳 Very nice ideas in build report, and even the tracks are scratched 👍
3 May 2019, 15:09
gorbyThanks very much Frank, your praise has made my day! 🙂
Up until this, tanks were of little interest to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed this build, probably more than any model I've ever done. It kept my brain working right to the end. I'm not saying that there will be no more aircraft from me, but there will certainly be more AFV in my near future. 👍
3 May 2019, 15:44
Jean-Michel TilquinWow! I missed this one, but the view from the trend is impressive, so real!
5 July 2019, 17:19
SpanjaardWhat a great job!!!! I knew I was missing some great builds in those months that I was out of SCM
24 August 2019, 17:41
CaptGPFWow! The only thing that is missing are terrified soldiers running for their lives!
3 June, 19:12
gorbyThanks Capt & Pietro.
I would have loved to add some figures Capt, but certainly at the time this was built there were no WWI British troops available in 1/48.
4 June, 06:40
BohrmannWell done! Again, hats off to your scratch building skills Too bad there are no pictures of the building process.
4 June, 08:11
gorbyThanks Bohrmann. 👍
I did do a full build report...on another site, a site which has now unfortunately died. It was only yesterday I removed the dead link to the report - I don't know if that pushed this post to the top of the feed, I though that just happened when you added more photos.
Thanks all for your comments and likes. 🙂
4 June, 08:19
gorbyThanks Kesa. This was my first full scratch build - I only built it because there wasn't many WWI vehicles or tanks in 1/48 at the time. It sort of got me hooked on scratch building. 🙂
11 August, 11:01
Kesa TihoWell man good for you. I assume scrach building is pretty hard so you've definitely outdone yourself. And with all the small details i assume you've got a pretty steady hand for a man your age (no offence ofcourse)
11 August, 11:30
gorbyIt's easier that you think Kesa, although it probably best if you start with adding small bits on kits.
11 August, 11:34
gorbyThanks Alexander.
There used to be a WiP on another site but that no longer exists. I've been asked a few times for some photos of the build so I if get a chance I'll post some - no promises though.
16 October, 18:27
gorbyI've been asked on a few occasions to show some work in progress photos so as I've finally managed to get some I've added a few.
You should feel relieved I haven't posted every photo of the build and I've whittled the original, many thousand word essay into significantly shorter, easily forgettable segments. 🙂
2 November, 15:24
Pietro De AngelisLiterally "terrifying work",
congratulations Gorby,
especially for the spirit with which you faced it!
Admiration and respect...
2 November, 17:42
gorbyThanks very much Pietro.
It was very daunting when I started as it was my first full scratch-build, but I ended up really enjoying it. 🙂
