According to one of my references it was in use as a fuel truck from 1937.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Opel Blitz Tankwagen question
Posted by Cola on Thursday, October 2, 2014 1:04 PM

Hello,

I have the 1/48 Italeri Opel Blitz Tankwagen KFZ 385 in my stash and was wondering what year this version was used?

Particularly for the Luftwaffe.  I realize the Opel Blitz was around since way before the war and used everywhere & for everything, but I tried to find info on when the tankwagen made it on to airfields & I've come up short.

Was wanting to use it with my JU 88 A-4 in pehaps 1941...depending on the markings I want to use on my sheet. 

The decals in the tankwagen kit are for 1943 and beyond...I was going to ditch them & just use the plates...just checking if the kfz 385 was used in 1941 or earlier.

Thanks!!
