This is my representation of the early opel troop carriers used by the wehrmacht motorised troops during the blitzkrieg period of the second world war.
There were basically three versions of the opel blitz 3 ton truck, the first two produced in parallel from May 1936 until early 1941 the first had wheel arches so was not suited for cargo transport the second had the cargo bay raised above the rear wheels so could be used for both troops and cargo. In early 1941 a new version was introduced with added high side rails and simpler body this with some economy savings towards the end of the war was the final opel blitz 3 ton truck used by the Germans.
I'll be adding these others as time allows!
Version 2 added! 16/06/2018
I wargame in 1/144th scale so all my models are in this scale but it's fairly easy to up-scale to what ever you want.
This is a re-mix of a number of things :- M-Bergman's 1:200 opel blitz,1:100 opel mautier TigerAce1945's kfz-70 protze, bits from The_Stowage_Project.
I haven't printed this yet!
I usually get my things printed commercially in resin.
I use a very basic technique in 3D Builder on stl files chopping and mixing parts and then I use makeprintable.com to fix my model so it's printable.
