Airfix 1/76 Opel Blitz Troop Carriers

The poses on those figures is brilliant, your painting has really brought them to life.

!!!!!
How on earth you manage to achieve dejected body language in 1/72 will probably forever be a mystery to me, but I've seldom seen a more unhappy bunch of grunts in the back of a lorry even in real life! Brilliant work

That's the icing on what was already a very nice cake.

Just caught up with this thread, Great work. I have my blitz sitting on my bench to start some time soon(ish) and a diecast Bussing NAG, as well as a Monarch and a Matador to do as a captured trucks.

All the best.

I missed the final installment of this excellent "how to" on the Airfix Blitz and I agree with the others, those figures are brilliant and really bring the open top version to life.

Many thanks for the kind encouragement. Forced me to knuckle down and at least finish the third one...

Again, this Blitz represents a Series 3 made in 1943...

Great work. Hard to believe they're only 1/76. Love all the figures too.

Those look terrific. Love the paintwork

[ShaunW]

Brilliant, these Blitzes of yours and their accompanying troopers are really first class Neil

Finally... the last one of these is finished. My apologies to anyone who might have been following this thread. I really struggled with motivation on these...

It was worth the wait Neil, a great finish to your series of Opel Blitz troop carriers and really enhanced by those excellent looking figures! Out of interest what are the markings? Leibstandarte panzergrenadiers?

[JamesPerrin]

Beautiful scale effect, so easily could be 1:35

Excellent work, I agree well worth the wait to see the finished models.
