I recently picked up the Italeri Opel Blitz Tankwagen and noticed that there were quite a bit of extra parts. It would appear that they are at least some of the parts for the Italeri Opel Blitz Einheitskoffer.

Since I've been searching for the Einheitskoffer at a reasonable price, I'm curious if anyone knows if this is correct and if so, how close can I get to the Einheitskoffer set with these parts?

Thanks!

There is a review of the kit here on Armorama, and it includes pictures of the sprues. Just pull up Italeri on the reviews page and it should come up.

Unfortunately the only review I can find is for the standard Opel Blitz truck.

I was mistaken, it was a news article complete with sprue shots. All you have to do is search for "tankwagen, 1 35" and it comes up no problem.

Gotcha.

I'm actually looking for the radio truck sprues. I own the Tankwagen set, so I'm trying to see what is included in the radio truck set that is not included in the extra parts in the tankwagen set.

The tankwagen set seems to have the walls of the radio truck rear area, but not the roof, for instance.. unless the roof is constructed in a multi-part fashion that I'm not seeing in the tankwagen sprues.
