Evaluation:

Another excellent model, without doubt a collaboration between AL.BY and ODEX. Representing a most forgotten vehicle, as to my knowledge only TRUX Models had near 1/76 and ITA Models used to have an 1/72 DK5 cargo/pick up version, all by now extinct.

As usual, the quality of AL.BY offerings is exceptional, particularly with the well-rendered PE frontal grille (I wonder if Alain could sell me a spare, for my ITA DK5 &), so no warping, air bubbles and very few cleaning. This is a right from the box model.

As far as scale is concern, using the available data, this is the result:

I have some trouble to find reliable info and dimensions about this particular vehicle, so these values are only a provisory. I really think that AL.BY, and ODEX, have without doubt better data than I, so there is a high possibility that the model will be at 1/72.

Highly Recommended
