Look forward to seeing it. Is it a complete vacform kit or a vacform conversion.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

uh-oh...

I had the suspect that a vacuform blitz in 1/35 can be a long term project, but four years!

well, I'll start my own thread when I'll get all the pieces that I intend to use on it...

and hope to finish it within a reasonable time!

thank you for the help, read you soon, p.

I don't think you will get much of an answer. This thread is from 4 years ago and the OP hasn't posted for a year.

 

Paolo,  just start you own thread:

  • go to the ARMOR subject;
  •  click on the blue New Post button and then
  • fill in the subject with your "title" and write the post you want to send- just like you did to post to this thread.

Then we all can enjoy the work you are doing on your kit.  

  Good Luck

Opel Blitz Omnibus *WIP*
Posted by GlueItGood on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 4:09 PM

Here is the latest project I have started (while still finishing my Opel workshop).

I got the kit (Ironside Opel Omnibus) from ebay (plus various PE kits) and started it about a week ago (only a few hours put into it so far). The first thing that struk me (having never had a Ironside/Azimut kit before) was the thickness of the plactic. The second thing was the fit (horrible). The kit was already started by the time I got ahold of it (the rear and left side panel plus drivers door was already glued to the floor). These were not fit as well as I would have liked but I was not going to try to rip it apart.

So far I have added the front panel/dashboard, the forward side panel and am working on detailing the interior. My plan is to make this a DAK radio command waggon (generaly following this build:
http://home.arcor.de/rik.hartl/Modellbau/Militaer/Militaer12.htm).

I have the Verlinden Radio truck interior and the Edward Opel Blitz Radio truck PE set, plus just the Opel Blitz PE set for the type S truck.

Here are a few of the photos of the start.

All comments welcome,

Kevin
