Description: 1/35 Tamiya German 6x4 Truck Krupp Protze w/figure - pro-built/painted This is the old Tamiya kit of the Wermacht workhorse known as the Krupp Protze that was built primarily to tow smaller artillery pieces or to transport small groups of men. It was never as widely used as the Opel “Blitz” truck. This is in the standard early grey, most probably in the early part of the war in Poland, France or the low countries. It could also be used the very early stages of the AfrikaKorps being introduced in North Africa – before Dark Yellow became standard. This vehicle is also specifically attached to the “Heer” (Army) and is being driven by a soldier in early to mid-war uniform. This kit was very detailed with delicate parts. It has aged very well and was an interesting, and a joy to build. The wheels are posable. The windshield can be in raised or lowered flat to the hood. This completely painted plastic scale model is ready to be displayed or added to a scene or diorama. The model was grey plastic with one clear part for the windshield. All painting was done with Vallejo acrylics either being airbrushed or brushed. The exterior was Wermacht grey from Tamiya. Then I lightened that shade and airbrushed the inside of panels and flat surfaces just to replicate weathering and wear. I then used different techniques to age and weather the exterior, including oil pastel sticks, washes and highlighting. The neat thing is the kit also came with a driver, who is painted out in the early/mid war uniform of field gray tunic over gray/green trousers. He has a K98 right behind him at the ready – just in case. Another neat feature of this kit is the inclusion of many different detail extras, including three ammo cans, a “jerry” can, Panzerschreck (introduced in 1943 and reverse engineered from captured American bazookas), small 50mm mortar (granatewerfer), two mail/victual bags, an MG42 (which was introduced in 1942) and two generic wooden boxes. These are loose pieces and can be posed or positioned anywhere in or out of the vehicle. This a very unique vehicle that would look great alone or in a diorama of any type. You can add or leave off extras that will individualize the model even more. The buyer will get everything delivered in the original box with instructions. The box is 12x8x3. The actual model is 6 inches long, 2.25 inches wide and 2.25 inches high. Thanks for shopping a Retired Navy Veteran Family-owned business. This ships next day, excluding weekends and holidays.
