RE: Anyone have a 1/16 Opel Blitz?
I have searched and searched die cast companies with no luck. I would give any (all) of my kids for that model and an American 2&1/2 ton truck. I used Highway 61 die cast 1940ish American grain and produce vehicles to create a couple other American trucks and a German "Ford" truck, but an Opel would be so nice. Isn't there some die cast company in Europe we could entice??????? PP

I wasn't aware Highway 61 made any old trucks.. I have one of their 70 Hemicudas and a 67 Hemi Belvedere II. Your truck must be 1/18 like their other models, but that's close.

Hwy 61 makes 1/16th die cast trucks (3 or 4) in various paint schemes, all from 1940-46. No army paint though. You have to strip them and repaint. A lot of work, but worth it. Look on ebay for 1/16 trucks.
Rex: The boxy truck in last pix is the 1/18th scale Indiana Jones model. Needs heavy weathering to look real good. I have two yet to do. PP
