Hi...
I'm looking for a 1/72nd WW2 German aviation fuel truck.
Anyone know of any kits available please?
Or failing a that any suggestions for a conversion job....2 kits I might combine?
I do have the Opel Blitz truck on order, can't remember which manufacturer, probably Italeri (?).

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Cheers
Peter

On Scalelink.co.uk there's a German Opel Blitz KFZ385 Fuel Truck in 1/72 scale.


There's also two Luftwaffe Fuel Trailers.

(Reference #AA7202)


(Reference #AA7203)


There's also a Mercedes Benz LG3000 KFZ384 Tanker (Reference #AA7204)


They are by Matador Models.

Well thanks to Martin....
I am now the proud owner of two Matador model kits.
I recieved today from Scale Link UK, Matador Airfield Accessories 1/72 Opel Blitz 3 ton fuel tanker and 1/72nd Hanomag R40 tractor.

First I have to say Scale Link did an excellent job.
Delivered from e-mail order in 9 days, which is a record for delivery in this part of the world.
Well packed too.

The kits look great...even though I'm a total novice for resin kits of this type.
Wheels and numerous other items are white metal and look good.
I'll do IBR's for them soon.
I'll also post a question in another post.

Thanks Martin.
Cheers
Peter
