BMW Sidecar Outfit World Champion 1955 #41 Faust/Remmert by MEA Kit 43
BMW Sidecar Outfit World Champ 1955 - kit
Hand built available MEA058M
Willi Faust and Karl Remmert and their BMW outfits were a dominant force during the 1955 sidecar racing season, winning both the German and World titles. As with all of MEA’s motorcycle kits, this is one for the more experienced builder as the resin parts will need a fair amount of very careful cleaning up, particularly the main frame and engine unit which will also call for very fine detail painting. The wire wheels, handle bars and top of the front suspension is in very fine etch. The instructions make no mention of suspension but looking at the kit parts it appears that the assembled wheels and their resin tyres are simply to be fitted into the all-enveloping fairings.

About MEA Kit 43
An interesting range initially specialising in 1:43 motorcycles. The nature of the subjects and the size of many of the parts mean that these are best suited to those with good eyesight! Casting quality is variable and this combined with the size puts them firmly in the 'for the experienced modeller' category.
Alongside the bikes are a number of Dakar raid subjects and early Lotus race cars, again offered as kits and hand builts. The SPL series is hand built only and concentrates on very unusual race cars. Build quality is basic, variable and nowhere near the class leaders and usually presented in recycled Spark cases. Very interesting subjects that may otherwise not be modelled and therefore for the hardcore collector.
Made in France.
