about the kfz. 305 opel

The Kraftfahrzeug 305 (abbreviated Kfz. 305) was a box-type vehicle designed for a wide variety of tasks and used by Germany during World War II. One of these tasks was acting as an ambulance for the troops, for example with the 2nd Panzer Division in Normandy.

regarding the build

It was a nice diversion to build a truck. An ambulance in a war time scenario is in my opinion a very interesting scale model subject. It was one of the first projects were I tried to give the iconic three colour camouflage scheme to a model. I also scratch-built the mirrors on the side of the vehicle and placed a piece of transparant plastic to function as the windows, even the wipers were made by myself. The kit itself is affordable and gives a nice impression of this Opel Kfz. 305.

I’ve sold this model in 2024.

This scene takes place on a French airfield in 1940 and is called 'Rendezvous at the Junkers' where crew members meet up next to their Junkers JU 88 A-1 (belonging to 7./KG 54 Totenkopf) and discuss their experiences. A mechanic with toolbox is on it's way to his assignment and a guard with dog has a little chat with a serviceman.

This 1/144 scale diorama called 'Patrolling the sea' displays a so called Kriegsfischkutter from the German Navy navigating the waters around Norway. These small ships were armed and equipped to perform a variety of roles including minesweeping, anti-submarine warfare, patrol, and convoy escort.

Here you''ll find my latest scale models, from 1/72 tanks to 1/16 figures.
