My older mocced king size Kettenkrad stood out my collection like King Kong, so i really needed a new one
I had that ugly Cobi BMW R75 lying around which got me thinking of building a Krad around it
I had to get the ol' mighty saw out of the closet for a long time again, to adjust it a little bit to get those wheels in place
Here it is compared with a fig;
Now it fits nicely next to my Zundapp KS 750....;
Here you can see the enormous size difference at best;
You can still slide in a fully legged minifigure
Furthermore, it is a static model, so the tracks don't really slide over those wheels ( but stays in place) and i used a fatter tire at the frontal fork which doesn't really moves anymore
The biggest challenge here was getting the tracked wheels in place
I even used the side studs ( where the boxer engine rounded1x1 plate has to go) to place the frontal wheels
Got to say, i really like it myself being a real fan of Krads
The smaller the moc, the harder to make a decent detailed model
