ICM has announced that they are working on a Post War German Magirus S330 Truck. ICM has also announced that they are in the process of shipping out their German Armoured Vehicle Crew (1941-1942) and G4 (1935 production), WWII German Staff Car.
The news of a post World War 2 Magirus S330 truck has come as a surprise to me. A 1949 production vehicle is an unusual time period to get attention from a major company, but it should prove of interest to anyone with an in in Post World War 2 Germany. This will also be 1/35th scale release and so could be depicted with the armour in use with the Bundeswehr.

The 1/35th scale German armoured vehicle crew has already caused a lot of interest from modellers, the way the crew figures have been depicted has attracted praise. This 4 figure set and cat will be available very soon.

Lastly the release of the Second snap fit G4 German Staff car in 1/72nd scale has been announced. As this offering is the same base vehicle as the previous release but with its hood in place, I can say with some confidence that this will be a great addition to their range as I reviewed their previous release which is a gem of a model.

Mercedes L3000S was a completely different truck.

I'm not sure about that, Pawel. This manual was published in 1940 (according to the seller ) : H.P.

Mercedes L3000S was a completely different truck.[/quote] Did I write somewhere it is Mercedes? Can't agree here. The Ulm-based company was ever KHD and their vehicles were ever marketed with the brand name Magirus. Also, the models in concern were S330 and A330 first; later, due to the unification under the Schell programm, they were redesignated S3000 and A3000, or L3000A and L3000S (where L is for Lastwagen). HTH Cheers!

I'm not sure about that, Pawel. This manual was published in 1940 (according to the seller ) : [/quote] Okay, I checked some references and I believe that S3000 and A3000 were military versions (i.e. standardized according to Schell program requirements) and S330/A330 were civilian

I don't think the L3000S designation was ever used for KHD truck. They were S3000 or 3000S. L3000S was a Daimler Benz designation for their Schell program Mercedes truck. B3000S was Borgward, V3000S was Ford and E3000 was MAN - all 3 ton trucks under the Schell program.

There is a German military document D 666/8 dated 28 January 1943 which oficially changed the designation of 330 model to "Lastkraftwagen 3-to Magirus Baumuster Klöckner S3000/A3000". Talking about that L3000S/A I'm ready to agree it probably wasn't applicable with Magirus, I may fall victim of some incorrect reference. This doesn't change the suspicious cab shape anyway. Not to speak in 1949 the 330 models didn't exist from long time but tell this to ICM. Cheers!

LINK The designations are confusing but I think that the 4 digit designations were used also after the war. The designation S330 seems to have been dropped during the war. The webpage (linked above) claims that the trucks produced in 1948 (also 1949 ???) were very similar to the wartime trucks and that the cabin was changed 1951. I am not certain about when the one piece windshield appeared ( or if it was a divided windshield only in the years immediately after the war ??) That radiator cap looks like it was inherited from the wartime trucks .... / Robin

Probably according to ICM a postwar truck with air-cooled engine looks more sexy with radiator cap...
