[About motorcycles]
――World War II was a battle that emphasized mobility.
--Various troop transport vehicles have also been developed to ensure the mobility of infantry, one of which was the Welbike.
--Developed as a foot for the paratroopers to move quickly after descending.
――In the airborne operation, it was considered to drop the parachute together with the descending soldiers and use it after descending.
-Adopted a structure that can be folded so that it can be put in the case and dropped.
--At the point of descent, soldiers of the paratroopers recovered, assembled and used it.
--The engine is equipped with an air-cooled Villier 98cc.
--The body weight is only 32kg.
--From 1942 to 1945, the Exalcior Motor Company produced more than 3,600 units.
――It was often used in the Allied invasion of the European continent, such as the Normandy landing operation and Operation Market Garden, and was used as a foot for soldiers.
[About the model]
-A plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the small bike and well bike developed by the British Army in World War II and widely used in paratroopers.
--The scale is 1/6. You can't miss the reproduction of every detail unique to the big scale.
-Not to mention the compact shape, the mechanism of each part is reproduced like the actual car.
--The handle can be folded even after completion. In addition, the saddle is adjustable in height.
――In addition, the engine equipped in the form of being sandwiched between double cradle type frames firmly expresses each of its cooling fins.
――You can understand the compact and efficient design.
-The front and rear tires accurately model the tread pattern.
――Tighten your feet with the delicate expression of spoke holes.
――Of course, the steering wheel can be steered to the left and right.
――The reproducibility unique to the big scale approaches the formation of a motorcycle developed for special missions.
――I'm looking forward to making a vignette on a motorcycle alone and displaying it in combination with an action figure.
