SMA have added a WWII German DKW 125 motorbike to their range of 1:35 scale models. The German army made good use of motorcycles, but they were not all BMW or Zundapp 750s! A nice change, therefore, to see one of the smaller capacity bikes, which do seem common enough in photographs from the time. The model bike is made up from a number of good quality metal castings and clean up is fairly straightforward, there is an etched brass fret for the spokes, which have to be sandwiched between the metal tyre halves. Thin wire is also supplied to make up the various cables and an instruction sheet is included. The parts are fine and I used super glue for its assembly, rather than solder, for fear of damaging the parts. The end result is light enough to remain quite a strong assembly.
