      Yup Stevie Wonder, You have really done a bang up job on this one!!! Looks tops and your finish on this is one of a kind my friend. I have to agree with Simon that it looks like it sits in an oil slick, but it doesn't take away from anything other than it is set in Kuwait!!!...Did the 8 hole front rim come with the kit? Late war Opel blitz's had the 8 hole rims. Afrika Korps Opels (early) had 6 hole rims like the ones on the rear. Just a question….What's Next Buddy??????

      Prost

      PS, I can't believe you put your fine builds in a box and hide them away, when they're done. Such a shame……..

          One word Scottie - Thankyou!!:smiling:
          Kind of you to say Jim but I still feel I am on a steep learning curve:thumb2:
          Thanks for the support Ian
          I appreciate the support Colin
          Glad you like it Polux
          Thanks for the feedback Rick
          I had a lot of fun Peter. Glad you liked it
          More damage the better for me Mr T:smiling3::thumb2:.
          Si - When I put it into competition it will be under the title "Surrendered and Abandoned" so you are right in your observations:thumb2:
          It was certainly one of my better efforts Peter. Many thanks
          Cheers Ron:thumb2:
          I am glad you like it as a stand alone build Fernando. Cheers mate:thumb2:
          Glad you spotted those Tim. Five different shades of Brown which as you say gave that little subtle change in colour
          Thanks for the feedback Allen. PM sent
          Wonderful feedback Barry. Luv it:smiling2:

              Magnificent work Steve. That is a very well-worn Blitz. A lot of detail to look at in those pictures.

                              Steve a beautiful piece. My favorite is the chipping effects as always a great built by a master builder.
