Greg Kerry
has created a wonderful scene with his 1/35 Italeri Daimler Blitz, Tamiya DKW350 & Germans At Rest.
Greg combined a few different model and figure sets to pull this

motorcycle and the open engine hood on the truck. There are so
many little things to came together to make this the exception scene
it is. BTW....the wheel spokes on the motorbike are done with
wire.
