Assembly plastic kit of an Opel Blitzbus Ludewig "Aero".

The Opel Blitzbus Ludewig "Aero" was a German bus of the mid 1930's. It was built by the truck body workshop of Ludewig Brothers on the chasis of the well-known Opel Blitz ton truck. The bus had rather elegant exterior lines, and was used as an express bus for passengers between cities, and also for propaganda purposes. After the beginning of the Second World War at least one such car was requisitioned by the army and used in the Eastern Front as a transport for Wehrmacht officers.
