The last few months have seen the first moves from LionRoar into injection-moulded kits. Here are the latest:
With the imminent arrival of their first motorcycle kit from Masterbox and with something approaching a 30-year gap while we've waited for some modern models of the ubiquitious WWII German Motorcycles, these two announced releases from LionRoar should find a welcome place in the market.

Two models have been annnounced:

L3508 - WWII German Zundapp KS 750 with Sidecar

and

L3510 - WWII German BMW R75 with Sidecar

Few details are available yet, but with the company's previous 'foray' into 'plastic' then they'll almost certainly be a mixture of injection-moulded styrene and Photo-Etched brass.

Much needed improvement. Wonder how much they will go for? Their stuff isn't exactly bargain basement priced.

As much as I don't model WWII Axis stuff, I'm excited to see them. Good, quality kits of these bikes (with sidecars, nonetheless!) are long overdue and are undoubtedly much anticipated. -YL

This will be a much welcomed additon to the pile of stuff in the closet. And the diorama ideas are almost endless. Would be neat if they did some Allied motorcycles too.

Certainly, an interesting subject and one long disregarded by various model makers. Anxious to see this one come out, any idea on the cost? thanks DJ
