The kit includes 3 fast assembly medium German trucks with options for 2 truck variants and one half track.

The Opel Blitz 3 ton truck was one of the most widely used vehicles in the German armed forces during WWII. Built by the General Motors Opel factory in Brandenburg from 1938 and also by Daimler Benz from 1944, the four wheel drive Opel Blitz was found to be so reliable that more than 100 different body types were officially recorded as being mounted on the chassis.

Based on the Opel Blitz 3ton Truck, the Opel Maultier ("Mule") used a tracked suspension system based on the British Universal Carrier. It was introduced following the bitter experience of Russian winter where trucks could not be used to carry cargo. It was designated the Sd Kfz 3.

The Mercedes Benz L3000 Truck was a 4x2 truck powered by a Daimler Benz OM65/4 75hp diesel engine. The L3000 was made in three variants, the L3000, L3000A and L3000S. Over 27,700 were made during WWII.

Each sprue has all the parts necessary for either the Opel Blitz, Opel Blitz Maultier or Mercedes Benz L3000 allowing either 3 of one or the other or any combination in between.

A cost effective alternative to Italeri and Armourfast fast assembly kits.

Ideal for wargaming custom scenarios or just building for display this brand new kit is a beauty. Not to be missed.
