Here is my latest buy, the dark grey Opel Blitz..... Seems hard to get nowadays and it isn't in the latest catalogue anymore so i just got it before it is to late
I really went for downsizing it as much as possible but still keep the right looks
I have rebuild the whole thing from square one and it fits nicely now with my other downsized models
It is 4 studs smaller in lengh, 2 studs smaller in width and 4 tiles flatter in height so it really is a size smaller as Cobi's original
Here is a close-up from the spare tire which has to be between the frame;
I made the whole chassis-frame higher because Cobi's was way to low
Also the frontal cabin and nose was way to long and the doors to low, so i shortened it and made the doors out of tiles
I also made some benches at the back because that flak was light grey
I got rid of that huge front window and made it way flatter
It overall really looks much smaller as Cobi's what these pictures maybe doesn't really show
I was thinking of making a Pak 40 behind it but i want to use those dark grey wheels which are used on the WWI Mark I tank at the back and that new Schneider gun, they match a real Pak wheel perfectly
I ordered 3 dark grey Pak 40 sets because that way i had the free mailing costs
I believe i used only 2 of them for some parts, especially the wheels and tiles came in handy
