Italeri 1/48 Opel Blitz Kfz 385 Tankwagen

[Builder]

Hi All,

Ive been away for a bit, serving the nation , and am back home for a bit now. I did manage to complete this build recently. It is a gem of a kit and you can usually pick it up for a good price, kit details below. There is no build thread, so will just show you the finished product here.

Build Summary:
I have kept this a very clean build, with minimal weathering. I wanted to show a well maintained re-fueling truck. I might use this in future with dioramas. I did some detail work on the interior, but it is quite difficult to see from the outside. The video is a bit shaky but its been a while since I did one of these so I will get it right with my next one.
