Zvezda 1/35 Zundapp K800 with Sidecar and Crew (3717)

This review will tell you more about Zvezda 1/35 Zundapp K800 with Sidecar and Crew (3717). New kit comes as combo-set of the motorcycle with figurines in the same scale. Such a thing can be a good start for your diorama build or even a solo project. Bikes are always fun to work with in 1/35 scale, so it would be interesting to see what is actually included in the box. There are 108 parts which should assemble into a model with 6.2cm length. Let's open all parts and check them together.

By the way, here you can read review with another German vehicle in the same scale.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.

First frame is one of the biggest in this kit. Here you will find mix of various parts for the motorcycle. Sidecar elements come on the separate sprue.

Wheels look okay for this scale, but spokes might be a bit on a thick side, especially when you take a closer look in the video. Frame should be glued out of two halves, but it is easy thanks to clever design.

Figurines come on the next frame. Overall design is typical for this scale, so you won't find any unusual surprises here. All positions are pre-defined, and sidecar rider will be holding machine gun.

As for the sidecar, here you might have to spend a bit more time, as the whole thing is assembled out of two halves. Note also wheels which are finished in the same way.

External features look great for this scale, but be careful with thin parts. In some cases it might be required to work with tweezers as otherwise installation will be a small nightmare.

Decals sheet is not that big, but you will find all necessary symbols here. Printing quality looks fine.

There is only one clear part in the kit - lens for the headlamp. Molding quality looks great, but there are no masks included.

Marking guide is printed in color and shows both assembly options for this kit.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

New bike combo-set should be already available for purchase. It should be also mentioned that Zvezda included here several assembly options, what might be handy for some build ideas. Overall quality looks top notch, so it is just a matter of careful assembly for all the parts in the box. I like that whole set is not overcomplicated and it can turn into a nice diorama build if you would like to.
