Hello,

I would like to change one of 3,5 Blitz Bus from Vector Models onto another 1,5-2,5 Blitz Bus.

- same with me! I'd like to have one of the "small ones", too...

Isn't there any chance to get one of them from a manufacturer like "Vector" or so?

Unfortunately I really don't know, where my "russian models" (look at them [ --> here ]) came from and which way they took to Germany many years ago...

Greetings Alex

Hello Alex!

Unfortunately Vector will not make "small" Blitz ever because they lost master-form for it.
There were another "small" model in military or medical form, but I haven't any photo.

I know who made your model "Opel Blitz 1,75 t" - it was Igor Boitcov from Russia. Now he make this model as KIT.

Regards, Urii.

Hello Urii,

thanks for the information about the model-maker.

There were another "small" model in military or medical form, but I haven't any photo.

- I'm not sure, but I recall the user "Laubfrosch" or the user "beanpole" might have one model...

Hi Urii and Alex,

unfortunately I don't have any of those models in my collection. I have to downsize the collection anyway, so I would have traded.

Kind regards

Hi Alex, Hi Urii,

unfortunately I have only the two "small" busses in my collection that you can see on the photo.
One is the cabriolet and one the closed version. I've never seen them on ebay during the last years.
The big ones (based on the 3,5 t Blitz) can be found on ebay.com from time to time.

Hi Urii,

I stumbled across a ukrainian site, selling models:

http://scalemodels.com.ua

They still list one of the small Opel Blitz bus models "Opel Blitz bus 1,5t 1948" and a truck model "Opel Blitz 1,5t 1948" (which I never saw before...) - unfortunately both models are not (or no longer) on stock.

The manufacturer of the models is named as "Dixi", the bus has the number "43-10" and the truck number "43-9". Probably this will help you with your search for the models - maybe you could also contact the operator of the site.

Hello Laubfrosch!

Thank you for information, but I saw that site before. There was not manufacturer "Dixi" in Ukraine, it is mistake on the site. On the another site the model has a description like "Handmade model". I think it is more like as a true...
