Sometimes simple is the best way to go. Neat little kits but with touch here and a dab there I know you will bring them to life!!

Thanks a lot, Bob! Totally agree. It doesn't always have to be a fiddly kit. I already made notes of what I want to change and add. I guess the DKW will have about 80 or 90 parts when I'm finished, but I don't count the parts, so I'm only guessing. Will answer your mail later. I'm talking to F.! :)

Definitely less is more. I appreciate how tamiya us clever engineering to make detailed kits without excessive parts counts

Thanks, Mark! I think so too. Making the steering handle from ten parts is okay, but not half as clever. It's just reproducing all actual parts and make the modeler glueing them together again, hehehe!

Ein Tamiyaboxart zu sehen ist wie nach Hause zu kommen. Einfach schön und simple freude. Das Motorrad war mal bei nem Königstiger mit bei und war klasse zu bauen. Einfach und erfüllt den Zweck und füllt jede Szene mit etwas Leben. Und Motorräder sind klasse zu altern. Danke für den Review ;)

Vielen Dank, Phil! Da ist etwas dran. Ich mag Tamiya-Boxarts mit am liebsten, weil einfach nur das zu sehen ist, was man in der Schachtel findet. Kein Schnickschnack wie Landschaft etc. Genau daran hatte ich gedacht! Ich hatte den Bausatz zwar nicht, aber auf der Box war die DKW abgebildet. Boah, ich werde ganz bestimmt nie einen Tiger I, II oder Panther bauen! Ich hasse diese Schachtellaufwerke! Noch mehr Räder als üblich! :)

Genau! Obwohl sie auch mit den wenigen wo Landschaft drauf ist ein paar schöne Sachen gemscht haben. i84.fastpic.ru/big/2016/1011/2b/3d438ffbe632438e6b5571f9aac24a2b.jpg Bsp. Ja die Schachtellaufwerke machen echt Arbeit besonders mit den Gummilaufrollen :D Deswegen bau ich auch meistens mit Stahllaufrolle.

Ja, schon schön, aber für meinen Geschmack lenkt das nur ab. :) Nee, Phil, das ist mir ganz egal, ob Stahl oder Gummi. Die Bauweise ist idiotisch und die Besatzungen hatten damit auch nur Ärger. Ich möchte eigentlich nichts bauen, das mehr Rollen als ein Panzer III oder Sherman-Fahrgestell hat. Diese vielen Rollen und Räder sind der Hauptgrund für die wenigen Kettenfahrzeuge, die ich in 40 Jahren gebaut habe. Schrecklich!!! :D

Thanks a lot, my friend! I agree. Usually we only see BMW or Zündapp German motorcycles, but these smaller ones saw a lot of use, especially with dispatch riders. They were lighter and easier to handle, so their cross country abilities were better. If you should buy it and want to enjoy the build, do it slowly or you'll be finished in an hour. A typical Tamiya kit, hehehe!

Great review Jens :) It's a very detailed kit!

Thanks a lot, Glen! In case I get any bench time the next four or five months I decided to build it along with other stuff. Only 21 parts! I'll add all brake and fuel lines and the wiring and I'll take care of sprocket and chain. And I hope I won't have an idea on how to deal with the spokes!!! :D

Well, let me put it this way: I definitely won't cut them out. If I can come up with an idea of improving the kit's spokes I might do that. The work may be a bit too much for this kit, so I'm not sure if I really want to do that. :)

Thanks a lot, Steve! It actually depends on what you expect. There are many new and part heavy motorcycle kits available. They have PE spokes and so on and they will probably look really nice. I'm more into scratch building, so I prefer to have a very good base for it. And I'll use this one as a "secondary" model, so it can do with less details. I forgot a third way to deal with the road signs. You could scan and print them! I'm really getting old. :)

Nice kit mate!👍

Great review ! I have a couple of the kits but they are the version with the Tiger II. Does this kit have the parts for doing the later version? I have see this kit before but it never caught my eye until I got them with the Tiger. I really like the kit. I can't wait to see what you do with this !

Thanks a lot, Ennis! No, unfortunately no parts for the NZ-1. I don't know if there's an after market set with these parts available. That motorcycle wasn't that well received by the soldiers as the first version though. Well, I'll add all brake and fuel lines and the wiring. I've got an idea about sprocket and chain but will do a test version first, because it'll be some surgery and I don't want to mess up the kit. Since this kit is very small I might build it along with something else. I'll only have to store it safely until I start with the main kit for the dio I want to use it for.

Vielen Dank, Ralph. Ich musste Deine beiden Kommentare aus dem Spam-Ordner befreien wegen der Links. Das waren beides schöne Motorräder. Die modernen Maschinen gefallen mir nicht. Ist bei Autos genauso. Kann sein, dass ich das Video schon kenne. Ich schaue mal. Wenn es das ist, ist es super, aber das werde ich mit diesem Modell nicht machen, weil die Reifen schon auf den Felgen sind. Das bekomme ich nie wieder repariert.

For what you get in the set and under £10 here in the UK it's a bargain.

All are British motorcycles. Looks at the vertical engine cylinder. German motor cycles had horizontal cylinders like BMW r75 or r17 British motor cycles had vertical cylinders. Like bsa m 20 Norton 16H

I'm really sorry if this sounds rude, but you don't seem to know a lot about German motorcycles. DKW was a German manufacturer that was established in Chemnitz (Zschopau)/Saxony in 1904, so this DKW 350 NZ is German. The DKW 350 NZ was a light motorbike. The BMW R12 and the Zündapp KS 750 were heavy motorbikes with more than twice the displacement. That's why they had two cylinder boxer engines. You better look things up before posting a comment like this.

@non-prolific135thscalemode7

Thanks a lot, mate. Glad you liked the review. With regards to the details I must disagree, because this kit is *twenty* years old and for that age most details are excellent. I've got about 200 reference pics of the DKW and I compared kit and the actual motorcycle bit by bit. Of course there are flaws (chain, drive sprocket, spokes and a few more), but most details are there and they are - again with regards to the kit's age - nicely executed. Unfortunately slide moulding didn't exist back then. I'm in the hobby for 42 years now and I saw many bad kits in all those years. This one really isn't bad at all. I like Tamiya kits but I'm not a fan. I don't have any reasons to defend them, but I built the motorcycle the year it was released and fit is very nice. Back in the days there was no better motorcycle kit available. I do agree with you when it comes to the wheels. They should have been done in at least two parts each, but after all this motorcycle was only meant to be used as a "secondary" model on dios. Tamiya designed and engineered the kit in a way that it can be built easily (only 20+ parts) and in my opinion there's nothing wrong with that. I prefer kits like this, because there's a lot of room for extra-detailing. I guess the completed motorcycle will consist of more than 100 parts (no aftermarket PE sets) when I'm finished and that's what I like about building these aged kits. But that's only my personal taste. :)
