Hello,
after showing you three RAPI motorcycles already, today it's JFS' turn!
The two heavy motorcycle combinations come from sheet number 921, "Deutsches Heer - Motorisierte Infanterie" (German Army - Motorized Infantry), which depicts a reconnaissance (Aufklärungs-) or motorcycle infantry (Kradschützen) unit. The complete sheet contained eight motorcycles (four with machine guns and four without) and one Kfz 13 light reconnaissance vehicle. As is so often the case, unfortunately only these two figures have survived. They are glued onto very thick cardboard and cut out with a scroll saw. Originally, a kind of base was inserted into the cardboard from below using small tacks. If you look closely, you can see the resulting damage to the printed image. Since the holes were worn out and the figures could no longer be stood upright, I attached a typical wooden base instead.
The figures were drawn by Eugen Blumentritt. They measure 12x9cm.
Best regards,
Andreas
