I hope there are a few softskin modelers on FSM as I will be uploading a few in the next few weeks. The first is an opel blitz by Italari converted to a 4x4 version
with a rather large flak gun mounted on the back,gimme a hand here Kelly would ya,can never remember the size of this gun!! Anyways,figures are from Tamiya and of course good ol` Monogram. Enjoy.

Ah, I love soft skins, particularly the opel blitz! This one is ver nicely weathered, look really good, as does ALL of your stuff!
the gun is a 37mm FlaK 37. I like the MG mount and all that gear in the back.
nice job!

Well John beat me to it, it’s the 3.7cm Flak kit. You’ve done a lovely job on this one Russ, I kind of have a thing with vehicles with flak’s mounted to them, they look so cool. I’ve got the same kit to do too, I wonder if I can get away with mounting it to the single axle Blitz though…

A most excellent build sasd. The weathering is outstanding and the gun is too cool. Kelly maybe you think what I think when you see flak guns on the back of trucks, “Wow I could sure clear some traffic with that!”. LOL

Thanks for the show.

Thanks very much Thad,I do have another opel blitz to do as a cooks truck and I also have the opel blitz maultier to do something special with. You may find my Mercedes G4
6x4 staff car interesting which I will post at a later date as well.
