WWII German Opel Blitz Fuel Tanker (Advanced Version) at 1-56 scale includes parts to be done in resin.

This listing sees one of the first models I created with the encouragement of M Bergman (NZ).  Aware that the Opel Blitz truck had been done by many people I wanted to offer a variant that at that time (August 2020) did not exist. Something unique to offer as part of the Printed Ready to paint Gardenshedprinting range on Ebay. Given the shape of the fuel tanks and the carriage work I decided that a multi part model, printed where possible flat to the bed (nod to Deweycat Productions who thinks very carefully about the printing aspect of models) would be the best approach. This listing offers the Advanced version of my work giving you a practical kit based German Fuel Tanker of WWII, though you will need access to a Resin Printer.
