Title: Zvezda Opel Blitz (15mm)

These are the 1:100 scale Opel Blitz medium trucks from Zvezda; this is the kit that I converted the ambulance from. They're cheap and simple, and within certain limits they're reasonably good gaming pieces.

The main issue, visually, is that the planking of the cargo compartment isn't etched, so I've had to draw it on these two with a technical pen. The canopy is OK as far as it goes, but as usual with injection-moulded pieces there's no detail on any of the sides.

I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the chipping and rusting. I got a bit carried away.

Another excellent paint job.

The drawn in planks look good.

I like both the chipping and the planking.  I have just had a look at my made up but not painted pair of tucks, and hadn't realised that the planking was not present - good shout.
