Ford Model 1938 2,5ton truck. Shouldn't a Ford Koeln delivered G917T have a split front window and the "proud standing door trim" with 3 hills (so 2 indentations in it) instead of just 1 big flat hill like portrayed?

I think it might be the case that what you describe applies only to US made versions, not to German versions. At least that's what it suggests on this page: LINK And this photo from that page: Get the thickness of the width indicators and mirror stalks in the painting! The roof certainly also looks somewhat different.

Definitely could use this and others like it in 1/35th! Getting rather hard-pressed to believe that only the Opel Blitz was used in WW2!

You are aware Zvezda and ICM make a lot of different trucks, right?

The German-made Fords used the 1936 truck cab.

G = Germany 9 = model year 1939 1 = 85 hp engine 7 = wheelbase 157" T = regular truck 1,5 ton rated load capacity Any evidence to confirm this bold statement? Indeed, if you mean V8-51 it is true but for G917T and V3000 I cannot agree. However, the crude angular cab on those 3D renders doesn't look convincing. The only German feature on it are the typical door stampings.
