Rikuo Type 97 Motorcycle – Hasegawa

This is part of Hasegawa dual kit, a Kuragane Type 95 car and the Type 97 motorcycle with side car featured here.

Japanese military figures are 1/48 is difficult to source, I used a Tamiya A6m5 kit figure along with a modifying the included figures a bit. This was a quick a pretty much OOB built, just some brake lines and piping were added to the motorcycle. I also used a MV Lense as the headlight, even though it has yellowed with age.

Here’s an image of a restored machine – from this great site as a reference. Rikuo Type 97 Motorcycle | The Coolector
