LKW - ICM L3000S and Tamiya Opel Blitz

WIP pictures of the ICM Mercedes L3000S and Tamiya Opel Blitz.

The L3000S wheels are the Panzer Art LG3000 resin wheels, but on the front and inner rear wheels only the tire portion is used.

The ICM kit generally fit together impressively well - the only potential issue noted is the fitting the cab roof piece so that everything lines up.  Am hoping that it will hold in place when glued (after painting interior).  Have a little gap on the Opel Blitz hood as well, although that could be a builder issue.  Otherwise both kits were well engineered.  Have the Mig Productions tilt for the Opel Blitz, although undecided as to whether to use.  Per PMMS, have cut off the reinforced rear spring on the Opel Blitz to represent an early version (conforming to the six-lightening holes of the wheels).
