How many people will be interested in a 1/43 model of Harley Davidson? The particular model is a WWII era bike with a sidecar.

I would be interested.  Here's a picture or two of my only 1/43 motorcycle, a German Zundapp ks 750.  It has no manufacturer's mark and I don't remember how or when I acquired it.  I see similar Zundapp motorcycles and WW II military versions offered on eBay from several sources.  Some are made by Cararama in 1/43 scale, and I see others in a variety of scales.  Zundapp was a German motorcycle manufacturer from 1917 into 1984, and I have seen mentions of a more modern version in later years, it seems with Honda engines.  The figure on my motorcycle did not come with it but is a volunteer from the local population.

(later)  I just saw I had included another motorcycle in the group picture.  Here it is in a closer view:

This one is generic, with no marks of any sort.  The driver stays on it and hangs around with the rest of the gang, including a couple of bicycle riders.   Enjoy!   David

I have the 1960s Matchbox Harley. An online source puts its scale at 1:41. Also, I have a few Harleys in 1:48 O-scale made by Rail King.

A really well-detailed 1:43 would certainly be welcome.

For those interested in 1:43rd scale motorcycles Spark occasionally add one to their range but they sell out quickly.

I have one Zundapp model. It's a modified kit build in 1/35.
