Its a wartime 3 tonner, but the bonnet and radiator grille are post war - I'm rebuilding them to the correct pattern.

The Danish civil defence force had it post war, and made some modifications (such as lowering the tow hook).

It should look like this - thought this example is the earlier 4x2 version. Mine is the 4x4 version with the increased suspension, which was usually seen on the Eastern front to compensate for the poor roads.

Respraying has begun though!

The colour is the correct 7028 Dunkelgelb nach muster, but it appears brighter than it really is in the photos.
