Henschel Typ 33 D1 German Army – Revell 1/35

In the course of the first motorisation programme the German Army required the development of cross-country six-wheeled trucks with a capacity weight of 3 tonnes.
Henschel supplied the first “Type 33 B 1” vehicles in 1928. Already by the following year the “Type 33 D 1” with a more powerful diesel engine (100 hp)had been introduced.
This type is recognizable from its longer bonnet and extended wheelbase between first and second axles. In the early versions of the “Type 33 D 1” the rear axles were driven by separate drive shafts. This model kit is for the later version which from 1934 onwards had only one drive shaft with drive-through to the second rear axle and Simplex wheel rims. The model has attractive filigree and finely detailed components. There are optional decals for 3 German Army vehicles.

German Army Staff Car “Admiral Cabriolet” – Revell 1/35

Production of the “Admiral” stopped in 1939 when the manufacturer changed over to producing essential war equipment.
The vehicle was exclusively designed for civilian use and would have established itself as the top-of-the-range model at the upper end of the market. In addition to the 4-door limousine, a cabriolet was available.
Of the total of 6,404 cars produced, over 2,000 of which were cabriolets, many were requisitioned by the German army from private individuals.
These were primarily used as staff cars for generals and senior officers. The model is resplendent with filigree and finely detailed components. The 3.6 litre six-cylinders in-line engine is authentically reproduced. The convertible top can be built either closed or open which gives a view of the detailed interior.

- Surface details with fine engraving

- Bonnet open or closed
- Detailed chassis and suspension
- Detailed internal fittings
- Top open or closed
