1/72nd Scale

The bicycle was a very widely used means of transport during the first half of the 20th century, used by workers, soldiers and sportsmen alike. During WW2, both the Allied and German airmen used the bicycle to move around the airfields. The Masters of Air TV show has shown this again. Two of the bicycles are in 1/72 size with their front wheels left straight, while the third one has the wheel slightly turned, which indicates that it was thrown in hurry.
