The Italeri Triumph 3HW Single - WWII 1:9 Scale Motorbike Model Building Kit is a detailed scale replica of the single seater 3HW from British motorcycle company Triumph based on the Tiger 80 to be used in the Second World War.
At the start of the 2nd WW, Great Britain did not have all the technical equipment needed for such a conflict, therefore a lot of vehicles were ordered urgently. Motorcycles, mainly used by the well-known DR “Dispatch Riders” for communication between different units, were converted from civilian bikes with small changes, like military colour and the addition of frames for the canvas bags. Triumph proposed in short time the model 3HW, based on the civilian “Tiger 80”, with an overhead valve engine and parallel forks. This model served on all fronts where the British Armed Forces fought, such as Africa, Europe, and Asia. After 2nd WW these motorcycles were delivered to many other nations, such as Italy and Greece, where the Triumphs served for a long time thanks to their reliability and robustness.
Italeri has real passion for motorcycles and this is shown in its range of plastic motorcycle kits.
Two scales are available 1/6 scale and 1/9 scale.
1/6 Scale Bikes
These produce an impressive display item once completed. The size, coupled with detail, make them an ideal item for any motorcycle fan.
The 1/6 kit includes both plastic and die cast components. All components come in base colours of each part of the bike making painting optional. For ease of construction very little gluing is required with many parts simply clipping together making these models ideal for those with little model making experience.
The packaging includes dynamic images of the model and actual full size bike, useful for referencing. A windowed section displays key parts which rounds off the presentation making it an ideal gift item.
1/9 Scale Bikes
Featuring mainly racing bikes, this range includes some of the most popular championship motorcycles past and present including those ridden by World Champions Rossi and Stoner.
Just like the 1/6 scale bikes, the smaller 1/9 scale bikes are designed to be simple and straight forward to build, ideal for a beginner, but with enough potential to challenge an experienced modeller.
The kits comprise of plastic parts and rubber tyres.
Glue and paint are required to construct the models, which is available from all good model shops.
