Lieferwagen Type 170V German Beer Delivery Car
Germany is famous for a few things with the Tiger and Panther being high on the list of armour modellers, for the British it is leaving their hotel room at 3 am to put a towel on a sun lounger by the pool, but for the rest of the world I suspect their beer (white wine for the ladies) is high on the list. MiniArt has tackled a period subject for getting that beer to the thirsty in the form of a Lieferwagen Type 170V German Beer Delivery Car in 1/35th scale.
This model from MiniArt has tackled the model on five fronts:
MiniArt has tackled the oily bits to a high standard and even gone with a chassis for the model.
On the exterior MiniArt has made efforts to enable the oily bits to be seen in a natural setting.
Also MiniArt has put a good deal of thought into what photo etch to include to dress up the lines of the vehicle and still keeping the photo etch parts down to what needs to be rather than because they can, this approach I feel is popular with the modellers who are not comfortable with photo etch.
MiniArt has provided three very nice livery options for the model.
Lastly MiniArt has included the most important part the beer, but I feel the quantity supplied should at least be doubled to give the impression of a loaded vehicle.

When were these in service? I kind of like the Goering look-alike on the beer ad shown on the top pic. Might make a neat Governmental or factory delivery vehicle.

Production started before WW II, took a pause during the war and then resumed again afterwards. Haven't got the faintest idea if the German military used these but they did use the chassis with Kübelwagen type bodywork and they used a very similar Opel Lieferwagen as loudspeaker carrier and for general utility service in military administration. Since almost all types of cars were drafted it would not surprise me the least if the Mercedes Lieferwagen wasn't drafted too ... / Robin
