Looks familiar? It should do. Happily the Sovs copied several German motorcycle designs after WW2 so the hardware was the easy bit.
The crew were already obligingly wearing greatcoats and jackboots so a quick helmet swap and the addition of a couple of folding stock AKs transforms the look of the thing.

Vroooooomtastikski!
I like it, it looks the part.
That said I would fancy my chances using it for a recce mission in WW3....

Great conversion Tim!

I'd hesitate to call it a conversion - mostly I just painted it a different colour!

It shows the originality which was a hallmark of the postwar Soviet automotive industry.
In my head it would be a cross between Mad Max and the Great Escape with added Marxist theory.

The oil stains everywhere on your model are most realistic, Tim. I owned a Dnieper (the solo version)in 1980, and discovered that the owner's club sole topic of conversation was "where you can find spares."
Eventually, the pistons burned through on mine - yes really, so I bought a proper BMW. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!
Regards, Chris.
Great model!
Pete
I like your thinking - hold that thought....
