Thanks, Yves. I'm also inspired by another artwork, and there are some pre-painted kits on market.

Somewhere in the depths of my picture analogue archive there must a couple of images of one on a country road in Hungary in the early 1970s. They were seen then and there occassionally.

 

Here is a Wikipedia-page on the company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velorex. There are also quite a few pictures on the Net and YouTube has videos with them.

 

Didn't know there was a kit for it.

 

Nice idea to present it in a sort of 'exploded' form !

You should have seen her confused face. 😆 When the girl breaks and opens the frame, this kit will be 'complete'.

[wefalck]

Sorry, but what girl are you talking about ?

[modeller_masa]

Oops, sorry. She is 10 years old nephew.

My brother, in the south of France, has a friend who owns a Velorex in working condition and fully restored.

that's a pretty interesting idea.........to have a rare model kit,  prepaint the parts and curio it.  instruction sheet and decals as a backdrop........not too sure about the resale value though       cool idea!
