Miniart "roll out" the barrel from their new beer delivery Typ 170V's...
Lieferwagen Typ 170v German Beer Delivery Car
From: MiniartKit
No #38035
1:35th scale
Box size: 345x240x60 mm
The Mercedes Type 170V Lieferwagen (German for "Delivery Van") was one of the variants of the successful Type 170 that was produced before, during and after WWII in many various forms from roadsters, cabriolet's Kubelwagens, utility vehicles, four-door passenger wagons, ambulances and other variants. It is a very popular vehicle amongst Mercedes enthusiasts and until recently not produced by many model makers in 1/35th scale.
MiniArt has made a few of these vehicles in 35th scale, this time, a very smart way of changing the look of their moulds with a delivery van version of the car, complete with cargo for the back and decals for the commercial uses of the kit.
