The Opel Blitz series of 3-ton trucks proved the true backbone of German military strength in World War 2. Production began in 1937 and proceeded into 1944 to which some 70,000 2x4 Opel Blitz trucks were delivered out of German factories. Our Opel Blitz project is a well-kept secret especially for Salute 2015. Features include:
- A 2 sprue plastic kit
- Single piece truck cabinet for ease of assembly
- Truck side boards can be assembled in open or closed position
- Detachable canvas top with rear tarpaulin in open or closed position
- 2 headlights options – standard or small blackout lights
- Optional accessories such as reflector, searchlights, spare tire, and fuel cans
Enjoy! |

Great stuff, but I'm hoping for something less common such as a Ford V3000 with a Maultier option as the next softskin? |

I'm hoping for something less common A plastic set needs to sell quite a lot to cover initial expenses spent in design and tooling. Thus, less common vehicles are not likely to be at the top of priority list for plastic manufacturers. |

Yes!!!
Thankfully although tempted I didn't buy a resin one yesterday at Salute.
I will, however, buy at least three of those: one for my Barbarossa Germans, one for my Afrikakorps and one for my Late War jerries.
Maybe even a fourth one for a mini diorama/ objective marker. Can't wait! Cheers SP |

This looks very nice. I've been looking around for a while now for a good Blitz kit. The last one I built took far too much effort to attempt a second one. |
