A useful, albeit ugly, truck and a great alternative on a dio for those of us heartily sick of the never ending offering of Opel Blitzs.

Is it my imagination or does the truck have Wehrmacht tags but an SS officer? Looks like he's toting a Bergman mp.

Those oil lamps are nice addition to any Wehrmacht/Waffen SS period softskin. The usual IBG Z-grade research.

Well, it would be an easy scratchbuilding project to leave those oil lamps in the box and maybe fill in the mounting holes if there are any. Maybe also cover the headlights with blackout driving lights
Another, more ambitious, project is to replace the cabin with an Einheitsführerhaus:


The original cabin was also in use:


There are other variants of the 3RO still to be done by IBG so maybe the Einheitsführerhaus will turn up ...

I’d say it’s pretty cute looking
