German Trucks


These arrived the other day, the very good quick-build Opel Blitz by Pegasus. As you can see one has had a light wash of black. They come with covers and driver figures but in the end I chose to use niether


Black wash and three highlights of dry-brushing


No black and only two highlights; may do another couple yet


The completed pair. Not a lot of difference but I think the black wash helps the details of this type of model stand out a bit more. These are well engineered kits and very good value for money. Highly recommended.

  1. Fantastic work Al!
    It's a very popular kit here in Greece, and I can't find any to buy!
    It seems that I have to order from somewhere abroad to get them.

  2. Nicely done - I'm pleased that some manufacturers have become aware that cheap truck kits will sell.

  3. Nice work, Al. You can´t have enough of these. I think I will buy them as well as I need some trucks for my forces, too. Never managed to build one except the Blitz from Italeri. But I wasn´t pleased with the result so I sold him on ebay...
