Precisely rendered details and a realistic rubber texture contribute to an even more faithful presentation of this historical model in 1/35 scale.

• Scale: 1/35 – perfectly matched to most available Opel Blitz plastic and resin models.
• Material: high-quality resin – allows for much crisper details than standard plastic kits.
• Country of origin (prototype): Germany.
• Historical period: World War II (1939-1945).
• Type of accessory: resin wheel set for self-assembly and painting.

The Opel Blitz was one of the most recognizable and versatile transport vehicles of the Wehrmacht during World War II. Its early versions fitted with “gelände pattern” tires featured a distinctive off-road tread, which improved the vehicle's traction during operations on unpaved, muddy, or sandy roads on both the Eastern and Western fronts. These wheels can most often be seen in historical photographs from the early years of the war—ranging from the campaigns in Poland and France to the fighting in North Africa.

The upgrade in the form of “early (gelande pattern)” resin wheels offers not only faithful tread detail, but also subtle recreation of the tire sidewall texture and rim rings. Compared to plastic parts, resin guarantees sharper lines and better proportions—qualities appreciated by both diorama enthusiasts and modelers building collector’s vehicle replicas.

The set is recommended for intermediate to advanced modelers (difficulty level: 3/5) looking for ways to increase realism in their builds. We suggest using specialized tools for cutting and working with resin. Perfect product for upgrading kits from Tamiya, Italeri, Roden, or Zvezda.
Panzer Art RE35-374 is a guarantee of quality—highly recommended for building realistic dioramas, historical layouts, and individual displays featuring Wehrmacht vehicles from World War II.
