WWII German Type L3000S Truck 1/35 ICM Models

A significant part of the German Wehrmacht autopark during WWII was made up of 3t cargo trucks. One of the most numerous was the L3000S, which started production in 1940 at Daimler-Benz plants. It was equipped with a 6-cylinder OM 65/4 diesel engine and had rear drive only. L3000S trucks were widely used by all German service arms up to the end of the war at the Soviet-German front, in North Africa, France and Italy. Vehicles without all-wheel drive did poorly in off-road conditions so some L3000 trucks received four-wheel drive and were designated L3000A. In total about 27,700 L3000S trucks were produced between 1940 and 1944.
