Italeri 0216 1/35 Opel Blitz - Classic Military Truck Kit

The Italeri 0216 1/35 Opel Blitz model reproduces the wartime transport truck used extensively by the Wehrmacht, often recorded as LKW 3,6-36 S 3t Blitz. Its basic but sturdy layout made it a common sight on wartime supply routes.

Why This Model Matters

The Opel Blitz combined simplicity with dependable running gear, making it valuable for logistics. This kit focuses on accurate shapes and a realistic silhouette so modellers can produce a convincing period vehicle.

Building Advice

Keep seam lines tidy and use fine sanding to preserve panel detail. Use thin layers of paint and consider light weathering to show operational wear without obscuring moulded features.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly Required: Yes, glue needed
  • Paint: Suggested for enhanced realism

Work over a parts tray to avoid loss, use fine tweezers for placement, and pre-paint tiny pieces where access is limited after assembly.
Yes. Use washes and drybrushing sparingly to enhance panel lines and edges. Seal layers with a matte varnish to protect the finish before further weathering.
