Description

This is an motorcycle kit assembled from parts made of resin, white metal, photo-etched metal and possibly other materials.


From Model Factory Hiro's website:

"These Montgomery machines are for the men who prefer a distinctive mount in appearance and performance. That extra degree of soundness, those little touches which distinguish the ‘super’ machine from the mere motorcycle, come naturally to the Montgomery and at a price that is amazingly low.”-excerpt from a Montgomery advertisement

A relic of the past, the Montgomery British Anzani is a famous British superbike that sported the best components while made affordable to the everyday man in the 1920′s.

Originally a maker of sidecars, Montgomery eventually started designing bikes to to be sold along with their sidecars. Montgomery themselves focused on making frames and forks, and used parts provided by other companies, such as the engine which was designed by the British Anzani Engine Company. The engine itself, an 8-valve 57-degree 997cc V-Twin engine designed by British Anzani’s talented Hubert Hagens, was the same engine that was used to power various motorocycles, light aircrafts and small cars during the 1920s and '30s. It is said the engine is based off the record breaker that Claude Temple used to break the Motorcycle World Speed Record in 1923.

After the bike was built, the Montgoemery company suffered from various troubles and eventually perished at the outbreak of WW2.

This multi-media kit's parts include lathe-cut aluminium wheel rims, photo-etch parts, white metal parts, rubber parts, decal sheets, and more! The chain is assembled from photo-etch parts and is totally movable. Exquisite detail all around. For the experienced modeler!
