ITALERI 3960 1/24 German Opel Blitz Classic

Model Kit

The Opel Blitz project was set up with the aim of mass producing a robust and reliable commercial vehicle that could be used for different applications and tasks. Opel began production of the early trucks. based on a typically US “layout”. in its Rüsselsheim plant in the early 1930s. This was a success story that evolved over time and continued until the mid-1970s. The Opel Blitz’s sturdy structural characteristics were noted by the Wehrmacht and subsequently deployed by them during the Second World War. in both the 4×2 and 4×4 versions. However. its wartime role was later to be eclipsed by its the great commercial success as a civilian vehicle. During the post-war reconstruction period the Opel Blitz was indispensable to Germany’s recovery. being used by merchants. craftsmen. industrialists and many others to rebuild the country.
