Opel Blitz Truck 1
I bought this Warlord plastic kit early on in collecting my German army, but didn't build it until much later. My big reason for getting it was the squad of infantry that can be riding in the back. I'd started painting my vehicles in Dunkelgelb yellow and camo colours, but wanted to paint this one in grey, to try out the paint scheme. Inspired by the model shown in the instruction booklet, I produced what looks like a more early-war German vehicle, but my rationalization is, perhaps this vehicle missed the directive to shift to Dunkelgelb in 1943-44? Either way, I wanted to paint a grey truck! I knew I'd get another Opel Blitz and paint it yellow after that, so grey it was...
I added some heads from the Grenadier sprue to the transported squad, so they tied in with the other infantry. I also gave the NCO a wine bottle to swig. Maybe he'll pass it around to his men?

This is a 3D printed model from Paint & Glue. It's a simple, one piece vehicle, which allowed me to add another transport to my force quickly and cheaply. I've got no complaints about the model, it does what it needs to perfectly. I finished it off pretty quickly, though, and I think that shows. I will go back and add some more detail to this, I think...
