About product

Opel Blitz — plastic kit by Italeri, 1:72 scale

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German Opel Blitz medium truck in 1:72 scale from the Italian brand Italeri. The model captures the classic cargo version with a cab and a load bed, that is, the most common form used to carry troops and supplies. The exact contents and the marking options of a particular boxing are given in the instructions in the box.

The real subject

The Opel Blitz was a three-ton truck that became one of the most widespread means of transport of the German army in the Second World War. It was built in many tens of thousands and was committed on every front. The vehicle was rugged, easy to repair and had decent cross-country manners, which made it an invaluable mainstay of supply both on the Eastern Front and in North Africa. Besides the basic flatbed version, tanker, workshop, ambulance and other special bodies were built on its chassis, and it also served as the chassis for a wide range of special equipment.

Building and painting tips

On a wheeled vehicle, take care to seat the axles properly and to line the wheels up so that the model stands straight. Paint the cab and any tilt or cargo bed while you can still reach them, before closing them up. Liven up the base coat of Dunkelgelb or gray with shading, and bring out the edges and the boards of the bed with drybrushing. Dust and mud pigments on the wheels, fenders and lower areas will give the vehicle a used, front-line look.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of German transport and support vehicles of the Second World War.
  • For builders of dioramas with supply and logistics.
  • For fans of military trucks.
  • For beginners as well as advanced modelers: the vehicle is a rewarding stand-alone model.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
