Opel Blitz Bus 3.6-47 type W39 "Fronttheater"


Recommended Posts

Hello all

 

Today a few pictures from a project I have been working on for a long time.

My plan is to convert the W 39 as an early version into a tour bus of the artists for the troop support - therefore the title "Fronttheater".

 

The Roden model is not that high in quality, but the price is 🤑
The entire conversion is not based on an existing vehicle but only on my imagination.
For wartime use, vehicles were often converted to suit the needs, so in my opinion it is not unrealistic.

Another interesting vehicle would be a workshop bus-but there are already a few of those.

 

So now a tour bus-let it rock 😎

Nice stuff. I know what your going through. Makes a change to do something a little domestic while still being military 😊

I like the hanging coat. Is that in the kit?

Absolutely ☝️

 

I think after countless tanks it's time to bring some domestic warmth to the armored hobby 🥳

The jacket is an old accessory from verlinden-the kit itself is not so equipped and the accessories from Roden are bad.

 

Normally I do not build models with interior because almost never sees anything.

However, a future project will change this:

That's brilliant. I really like the slatted floor, the electrical conduit, the driver's coat hanging up and his boots and briefcase on the floor. Great work.

Hello John

 

Thank you for the feedback!

In my planned vignette the driver shows still other talents 🎻 🎶 😀
