Very nice! Is that the Tamiya Blitz?

[CP1]

Not sure. The box say it’s a Tamiya cargo truck 4x2 3 ton. Is that the same thing?

Yes, It's an Opel blitz...Tamiya being afraid to use the Opel name due to trademark infringement problems probably.... My bad, forgot about that.

I have the same kit. I had to buy a decal (Archer transfers) for the name on the grille because

The name plate on the grille is blank in the kit.

Moveable tailgate and sides

Must admire your German grey truck and the weathering, just finished a Sdkfz 7/1 in grey and it isn’t easy to weather grey and make it look convincing….

There are some great model painters and I am not one of them but thanks for the compliment😁. After I sprayed the base coat I use a lighter shade of gray and water it down. Then I apply the wash over everything. It leaves an oxidized look. Something like this.

Still adding a few parts to the truck and touch up left front tire.

Finished model just waiting on stencils to arrive.
