Contents:

- No decals, assemble instructions or painting information

Evaluation:

While this is a Resinconversion, no information is available, to help the modeller tobuild the intended item, as some cutting is need in the donorkit, to adapt the cab.

Of course, don't expectalso AL.BY to correct the ESCI kit. Another drawback is that thetrucks have a different wheelbase, Ford wheelbase is, at 1:72,55,8mm long while OPEL is at 50mm.

All together, a nice andexcellent kit, with high quality of castings and details. Theproblem, is this times is to get hold of a ESCI Opel Blitz…

As any resin kit, somecleaning of the parts is needed. In my specimen there were no airbubbles and no warping. The interior of the cab is crying forsome detailing and/or a driver figure.
