HO scale 50s or earlier Harley or Indian bikes?

[DaKra]

Need a vintage US police motorcycle in HO scale, is there such a model on the market?  I've seen very nice Wehrmacht bikes in HO by Roco and Preiser, but no American equivalents.     Thanks!

Here is an interesting one - not sure it will work for you.   http://buyeng.ebay.com.hk/buying/hk/display/230564153601_HO-Scale1946-Harley-Davidson-Police-ServicarRTRBuilt

Thanks Anders, it sort of maybe could be something I might be able to work with, but besides being a dumb tricycle, it looks toy-like.  Any other possibilities, before I start converting a Preiser Wehrmacht bike into 30s-40s era Indian?

Here's just what you're looking for Dave. Problem is trying to get them to N. America. I'm in the process of establishing contacts that may make it possible. Will be meeting with a fellow that may be able to help me the end of the month. These are really great models for the scale.

YES!   That's exactly what I'm lookin' for.  Great attention to detail, looks like photo etched and resin parts.  Perfect!




Let me know what you find out about ordering.   Thanks!

Hey Jacq

Thanks for the offer.  I actually already ordered one of the Indian bikes via eBay.de a couple of days ago, I still haven't heard back from him regarding where to transfer the money or if I could buy some other kits directly from him.   

He doesn't take PayPal and eBay doesn't send me his account information.

I would like a couple of them HO motorcycles  if and when there available in the States?

[jacq01]

 Dave,

he has to react and most probably will give you his IBAN data.   
If he does, contact me and I'll transfer the amount to his account without bankcharges.  You can pay me via Paypal or stuff from Vectorcut.

OK I'm in contact with him now about paying my eBay bill. He visits this forum!  Will keep you informed.

Guys, I got the kit, and some other pieces from Rene from Davo, payment was by international cooperation via this forum!   http://www.davomodel.cz/html/modely_1_87__h0_.htm

This little thing is a masterpiece of resin casting in HO scale, even the cylinder heads have cooling fins cast into them.   The kit has etched brass wheel spokes and a little resin stamp and die for forming them to the correct conical profile.   

I also got the etched brass laundry line.  Believe it or not, the cups on the bra and girdle are 3 dimensional!  As in the photo.

Thanks again for the tip, Chester.  These are great little kits and detail pieces!   I will post my results when I build the model.
