Gecko 1/35 60'~70's Saigon Shuttle Motor-Tricycle Plastic Model Kit

SKU: GM35111 | Brand: Gecko | Product: Gecko 1/35 60'~70's Saigon Shuttle Motor-Tricycle Plastic Model Kit Motor tricycles—known locally as xe lam or cyclo-motors—filled the streets of Saigon and other South Vietnamese cities during and after the war years. These three-wheeled vehicles, frequently assembled from salvaged motorcycle components and modified for multiple uses, transported passengers, delivered goods, and provided daily commuter service through congested urban lanes. Built for affordability and maneuverability in tight spaces, they sustained livelihoods for countless operators while navigating the constraints of wartime conditions. Canopy-topped designs accommodated multiple riders and light cargo. Gecko's 1/35 scale model documents this utilitarian transport, featuring the motor tricar with canopy, operator figure, and civilian passengers in realistic seated poses with period-appropriate clothing and accessories. Ideal for constructing Vietnam War-era street scenes. Paint and glue not included.
