I just picked these up today, I got to say I really like the North Africa scheme Opel Blitz. The gray maultier is okay, but I am not so crazy about it. What do you guys think?

I like the way both of 'em look, but I was thinking about getting the Maultier to tow my PaK 40 - the colours match, why not? What holds you back from being crazy about that one, Jagdpanther?

I actually like the gray Maultier halftrack better than the initial release. It also looks good towing my 32x Pak-40 and goes quite well with the original gray truck. I love the Afrika Corps Standard truck, however! It goes quite well with my growing North African collection in 1:32 and on another note, screams Indiana Jones :D

I like it, but I guess I just said that because I have so many gray trucks and tanks lol! But yea it looks great attached to the pak40. :D

There's some truth in that! Maybe I'll get a Maultier and a DAK Opel Blitz together :) The Maultier for my PaK 40 and the Opel Blitz to sit next to my DAK Panzer III Ausf L....

Is it me, or does the lighting in that picture make that war machine look baby blue? My first reaction was, what a bad paint job...then I realized just the lighting. :? 21C did a great job on these pieces. I dream about 21C making a duece-n-half now, you know they would do it up right!

I FINALLY picked up a Maultier on vacation in Tennessee (have yet to see one in Alabama) and color me impressed. Much nicer than the Prime Mover, they did a masterful job on the cab. Best I've seen out of 21st on a 32x vehicle since their early Stuart, Hellcat, and Sdkfz 222. Now I need a Opel Blitz in Mouse Grey.
