DKW NZ 350/1 Orderly Motorcycle in 1/35 Scale

The Tamiya 35241 kit faithfully recreates the DKW NZ 350/1 used by Wehrmacht units in WWII. The original bike was prized for being light and nimble, performing reconnaissance and courier tasks across Europe, North Africa and the Eastern Front.

Background and Why Modelers Like It

DKW earned recognition in the 1930s for its two-stroke engine designs. The NZ 350/1, adapted for military service, featured a sturdy cast iron engine and frame bracing that improved road stability, making it suitable for dispatch duties though not ideal on very rough terrain.
