Opel Maultier

HIS IS THE VERY OLD ITALERI/TESTORS OPEL MAULTIER KIT. THE KIT IS PRETTY MUCH OUT OF THE BOX EXCEPT FOR THE RUBBER TIRES WHICH I REPLACED WITH RESIN ONES FROM A CAST I MADE OF THE ORIGINAL ONE. THE REASON I DID THIS IS BECAUSE THE OLD STYLE RUBBER TIRES HAVE A TENDENCIE TO CRACK OR MELT THE PLASTIC. I ADDED A PE JERRY CAN HOLDER WITH A RESIN JERRY CAN ON THE FENDER. THE TARP SUPPORT BARS WHERE REPLACED WITH METAL ONES TO STRENGHTNE THEM AND THE MOUNTS FOR THE SUPPORT BARS WHERE MADE FROM STYRENE TUBE. THE CARGO IS A MIXTURE OF TAMIYA, ITALERI, GREIF AND RESIN, WHICH I CAST FROM MY OWN MOLDS. IT WAS PAINTED USING MODEL MASTERS AFRIKA GRÜNBRAUN, AND WEATHERED USING ARTIST OILS, DUSTED WITH REVELLS EARTH COLOR. THIS VEHICLE BELONGS TO THE, “15TH PANZER DIVISION OF DAS DEUTSCHE AFRIKA CORPS”.
