Thanks!

Matt, thank you for getting this posted, and thanks again to Stephen Lawson for the review sample. It's a nice little kit.

Hi Russ, I was trying to work out the difference between the plastic involved between this one and the Opel 3.6-47 Omnibus by looking at that review, and I couldn't get it... is it just the decals, or is there actually a different sprue somewhere? You mention the body being different, but maybe it's just too subtle for me to see in the photos.

Cheers, Matthew

It is the same kit with new decals. All the sprues are the same, right down to the flash. I wonder if they will try to produce a late body style at some point. They were squared off and I believe made of plywood.

Russ,

Thanks for a great review of an interesting and slightly oddball vehicle. (They can't all be Tigers...)
Really cool!

Glad you liked it, Tim. If this ever comes available in 1/35, I'd jump on it much sooner than a tiger or a panther. It's just so different.
