Opel Blitz - Maultier & Box Body 170211

[Pinky]

The model looks very nice, although the doors seem to be very thick.

True, but probably a result of the slide-moulding process.  Should be fairly easy to thin down the edges.

Hurry up and release this, Rubicon!

Hurry up and release this, Rubicon! 

Release schedule is early September with the rest of the batch.  The thickness of the door is a compromise between multiple parts (engine compartment x 3, cab roof x 1, windshield x 1, doors x 2) or a single piece for model integrity and ease of assembly.

Ah, I missed this update. Very nice crew, like those. As others have said, can't wait for this one.

Here is the second painted Opel Blitz from our Test Shot #1 sprues... for early war in Europe!



















Enjoy!

Awesome.  Think you've really hit a home run with this kit.

[Suetonius Paullinus]

Seconded!

This is an awesome kit and I can't wait to hold it in my hands :-)

Eeeeeeeeeeee! Excuse my girlish squeal of delight at the prospect of a fuss free Blitz, very much looking forward to this.

[Suetonius Paullinus]

Lol..that's what I did when saw the first render.
I could use some for the project I'm on right now.. 
Oh well, I'm sure the waiting will be worthwhile!

Does this mean that there is also a Panzer I in the pipeline?

A Pz I , a Pz II or a Universal Carrier as Maultiers were built on all three tracked chassis
