1/35 US Military Indian 741B (2 kits in box) The Indian 841 was developed in response to a U.S. Army request for a military motorcycle capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of desert warfare. Manufacturer: Thunder Model Availability: In stock SKU: Thunder Model TM35003 $30.00 Custom wishlist OK Add to wishlist Add to compare list Email a friend The motorcycle was designed with several engineering innovations tailored to the demands of desert warfare, including a 90-degree V-twin engine, girder front forks, and a low compression ratio to run on low-octane fuel. Despite its military specifications, the Indian 841 was not adopted for wider military use, as the Jeep was deemed more suitable for the roles intended for these motorcycles. The surplus 841s were eventually sold from the corporate warehouse in Springfield.
