Introduction
I don’t know why but I’ve always rather liked the Opel Blitz. So, having watched Mig Jimenez’s inspiration Winter Weathering DVD which features a Dark Yellow/white wash scheme I bought the Tamiya kit and the Mig Productions resin tarp which was featured.
The Tamiya kit itself is pure Tamiya although there are a few issues; mainly there are some troublesome ejector pin marks which will have to be dealt with. This won’t be easy on the wooden cargo area. Detail is really very good although improvements can always be made, hence the photo etch. I’ve never used any Lion Roar sets before but the set looks comprehensive and is sealed in clear plastic very reminiscent of the sets included with Trumpeter. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is where they are sourced!
