Tamiya 35384 1/35 KS600 German motorcycle and sidecar - kit summary

The Tamiya 1/35 KS600 captures a wartime German motorcycle and sidecar in scale, aimed at modellers who want authentic shape and surface detail. The kit mirrors the practical design that made the KS600 a common sight in WWII service.

Historical use and mechanical features

The KS600 was powered by a 597cc horizontally opposed 2-cylinder engine and used a 4-speed gearbox paired to a pressed steel frame. These engineering traits are represented at scale in the kit, giving insight into how the real machine functioned in operational roles.

Modelling considerations and part layout

The kit divides components into realistic sub-assemblies, including separate engine head parts and split wheel sections with accurate spokes. Builders who focus on accuracy will find the parts designed to support detailed finishing and painting.

Display size and included components

Finished length is 71mm with a width of 47mm, making it an ideal addition to cabinets or battlefield dioramas. The kit also contains decals for German Army and Air Force number plates and three figures - rider, commander and infantry - to populate a scene.
