This Italeri 0312 1/35 Kubelwagen model recreates a practical wartime vehicle used in Europe and North Africa. Built with a simple rear-wheel drive and a 24 horsepower engine in its original form, the Kubelwagen proved useful to units such as Rommel's Afrika Korps because of its reliability and off-road capability.
Parts are moulded to capture the Kubelwagen's distinctive flat panels and utilitarian details. The kit rewards careful fitting and painting, offering a chance to practise seam removal, panel lining and realistic weathering for a museum-quality finish.
When completed, the model offers a compact but historically accurate piece for any WWII fleet display. It complements larger diorama scenes and provides a clear example of mid-century military design.
