Opel Blitz Maultier Semi-Track

The Opel Maultier (or Sd.Kfz.3) was a hybrid of the venerable Opel Blitz truck, with the exception that it had tracked the suspension of a light tank, being similar to most Half-tracks of that era, but in In this case, it was cheaper to build. The kit comes with five-part sprues, molded in a soft light gray styrene. There is also a two-piece black vinyl one-piece tracks. It comes with a small sheet of decals. Cons: the instructions are poor, many of the very small parts are displayed incorrectly, where they should be and, being a not so famous vehicle, Internet images do not help much. The small parts tend to break when cut, you have to do it very carefully. In addition, some parts are generic, they are used in the Opel Blitz truck kit, so you have to cut them in some places, to adapt them to this model, it is explained in the instructions, but it is very difficult to do it with precision. Pros: The detail of the part is very clear and with many very small parts according to its scale. It comes with a small transparent acetate with the drawing of the pieces of glass to cut out. It comes with parts that you can not even see when it's finished, for example: the engine. In the cargo box, you can choose between two options. Conclusion: the assembly of this kit requires patience and manual dexterity, it is not for beginners. In my case, the process was more of a challenge than a joy. Despite this, it look great when finished. This vehicle is a must to any WWII soft skin vehicle collection.
