[35182] 1/35 U.S.Soldier Pushing Motorcycle

Bring a dynamic scene to your diorama with the MiniArt 1/35 U.S. Soldier Pushing Motorcycle kit. This detailed model captures a classic wartime moment, featuring a U.S. soldier actively pushing his Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycle, often nicknamed "The Liberator" during its service in WWII.

The kit meticulously recreates the iconic Harley-Davidson WLA, a general-purpose motorcycle built for the U.S. Army starting in 1940. Based on Harley-Davidson's existing W-series bikes, the WLA was powered by a high-compression, twin-cylinder 45 cubic inch (740 cc) engine, with over 90,000 units produced for both the U.S. and Canadian armies.

This model features an impressive level of detail for the motorcycle, including a multi-part engine assembly that replicates the 740cc power plant. The wheels are particularly noteworthy, with each tire consisting of three laminated parts and photo-etched spokes that are shaped using an included jig for accurate representation. The soldier figure is finely molded in gray plastic, featuring realistic wrinkles and folds in the uniform, posed as if pushing the motorcycle to start it.
