Motorcycle R75 with side car as 3D large modell
The R75 is a motorcycle team with powered sidecar and reverse gear, which was built from 1941 to 1944 and was also known as the "super-heavy Wehrmacht team" deployed in the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945.
The R75 has a multi-part screwed tubular steel frame with an additional strut to the top of the gearbox and a telescopic fork with hydraulic damping; the rear wheel is not sprung, the sidecar has a leaf spring. The frame can be divided by means of the screw connection, which simplifies the removal of the motor.
Although the team initially seemed to prove itself excellently, numerous engine failures occurred at the beginning of the Russian campaign in 1941/42. The cause was the air filter, which filled with water and mud. Then at the end of 1942 the filter was placed on top of the tank under a helmet-like cover, from where the air came to the carburetors through two long pipe connections. At the same time, the telescopic fork received rubber sleeves to keep dirt away from the sliding tubes.
The production was stopped after 16,510 units in 1944 because the design was too complex and too expensive to manufacture. The unit price for the Wehrmacht was 2,630 Reichsmarks. Production began in June 1941 and was relocated to the Eisenach plant in October 1942. Because of their elaborate and robust technology, the Wehrmacht teams are in great demand as collector's items and, when in top condition, are correspondingly expensive. Prices of over 35,000 euros have been achieved.

Content: 1 x lasered kit with 366 parts / assembly instructions
Supplied as a lasered kit. This must be assembled by yourself.
No tools needed. The parts must be glued.
The kit is made of wood and has been lasered. This will cause the edges to look burnt and possibly leave traces of soot and smoke on the wood. These can be easily removed with fine sandpaper.
All components are laser cut so that there is a "beautiful" front and a marked, production-related "bad" back. Make sure that the good side always points to the visible side.
These soot and smoke marks as well as the fact that wood is a natural product, which is dimensionally influenced by basic physical laws such as temperature and humidity, there are certain limitations in the nature of the products, which must be consciously accepted.
We offer the most careful choice of material and the most modern production methods, nevertheless one has to accept with wood the peculiarities and unimpeachable characteristics, which are to be observed again and again in the practice - therefore these can not be claimed by the buyer as a material defect.
