DioPark of China have released a new set of Japanese pushbikes in 1/35 scale... not 1/32, but close enough. The bikes are well-detailed, and you have the option of moulded wheel spokes or finely etched ones, complete with dished mouldings for creating the right look for the wheels. These should also work with the Aber set of wheel spokes for the Tamiya bikes.
So, here are some photos of this new set...
The business placards for the bikes are cut-off-and-stick-on card from the back of the box... not ideal to be honest.
Two complete kits in the box, so two sets of etched spokes and placards for the cross-bar.
The plastic parts...
And the instructions...
This looks like the models will build up beautifully, and will go well with my cars and planned mini dioramas. They are MUCH better detailed than the Tamiya German bikes that these resemble... the advantage of CAD design over traditional hand-made masters.
