A while ago I was charmed by a little resin kit of a classic American scooter. The Plus Models' kit of a Cushman Autoglide (I think it is a model 32) with sidecar. The kit is made up of rather fiddly resin parts with some flash to remove. Probably not a kit for the most ham fisted among modellers. A build review can be found on the military modelling site
Armorama.
When assembling my kit I just follwed the instructions. I had to cut part of the rear wheel off to make it fit its mounting. I probably glued the little engine a fraction too far back on the frame, so not necessarily a fault of the kit.

As an added benefit the building of the scooter also brought back the etched plates for my Schöma. How they ended in the box with the scooter I ought to know, but don't. Not surprisingly I found the old plates after having ordered and fixed new plates to the loco. If you have a 1:35 loco in need of etched plates I'm sure I can offer a nice price for the set of four plates. Leave a comment if you are interested. See the
plates here and the
new plates on my loco.
