About product

The Kettenkrad: the paratroopers' tracked motorcycle in 1:35

A small object forgives the least. With a vehicle that fits in the palm of your hand in 1:35 scale the viewer examines every part close up, and so it is exactly here that etched metal does the greatest service: thin fender rims, the radiator grille, clips and brackets. The set from Royal Model is complemented by cast parts. You will not find the machine itself in the box.

A machine that was meant to fly

The Kettenkrad was created as a light tractor for airborne units; its dimensions were set so that it would fit into the cargo hold of a three-engined transport aircraft. At the front it had handlebars and a front wheel, at the rear a tracked running gear with wheels on torsion bars. The steering was ingenious: a slight turn of the handlebars turned only the front wheel, while a greater deflection braked one of the tracks. After airborne operations were given up it served mainly as a tractor for light weapons, as a tug for aircraft and for laying cable; after the war it was worked with in forests and fields.

How to handle small parts

Work over a light-colored mat with raised edges, because a part this size that flies off is hopeless to find on a carpet. Keep two sharp pairs of tweezers: one for holding, the other for fitting. Apply the glue transferred on the point of a wire, never straight from the bottle. Deal with the painting by subassembly before the final gluing, as with a shape this cramped you will not reach the lower surfaces later.

The set is suitable for

  • modelers with a taste for small vehicles
  • anyone interested in airborne units and their equipment
  • builders of small scenes with a single figure
  • patient makers used to miniature parts

FAQ

It was created as a tractor for airborne units and its dimensions were set by the cargo hold of a transport aircraft.

A slight turn of the handlebars turned the front wheel; with a greater deflection one of the tracks was braked and the machine swung round.

The parts are very small. Previous experience with etched metal, two pairs of tweezers and good lighting are recommended.

Ideally by subassembly, before the final gluing. After that you will no longer reach the inner surfaces.
