This week we have a great restock of the 1/9th Italeri Triumph 3HW Motorcycle

t the start of the 2nd WW, Great Britain did not have all the technical equipment needed for such a conflict, therefore a lot of vehicles were ordered urgently. Motorcycles, mainly used by the well known DR “Dispatch Riders” for communications between the units , were converted from civilian bikes with small changes, like military color and the addition of frames for the canvas bags. Triumph proposed in short time the model 3HW, based on the civilian “Tiger 80”, with an overhead valve engine and parallel forks. This model served on all fronts where the British Armed Forces fought, such as Africa, Europe, and Asia. After WW2, these motorcycles were delivered to many other nations such as Italy and Greece, where the Triumphs served for decades thanks to their reliability and robustness.

This kit includes rubber tires, decals for multiple versions, and detailed instructions.
