Zvezda 3632 German R-12 Heavy Motorcycle with rider and officer (1/35)

The Zvezda 3632 German R-12 Heavy Motorcycle with rider and officer is a faithfully reproduced plastic model of the BMW R-12 motorcycle in 1:35 scale, designed for enthusiasts of historical modeling. The set includes not only the motorcycle but also two realistic figures representing a German soldier and officer from World War II, allowing you to create a dynamic diorama scene.

The BMW R-12 is a German heavy military motorcycle produced from 1935 to 1942. It was widely used by Wehrmacht units—both on the Eastern and Western fronts. The R-12 was characterized by a steel frame, high durability, and reliability in harsh frontline conditions. This motorcycle was often used for reconnaissance, message delivery, and as a means of transportation for commanders. An example of its use is in the fighting on the Russian front during Operation Barbarossa, where the R-12 served in motorized cavalry units.

The model's parts have been precisely rendered from high-quality plastic, making this set an excellent base for detailing—it is possible to use photo-etched parts or resin accessories. However, the manufacturer does not include these elements in the basic set, so the modeler may independently supply additional items such as photo-etched details or metal wires. The Zvezda set itself also does not include glue or paints, allowing you to select the appropriate products individually according to your preferences and painting techniques.
