The Italeri 1/9 scale Type 82 Kubel Wagen model lets hobby builders recreate a straightforward and robust WWII light vehicle. With roots in Ferdinand Porsche's design and Volkswagen production, the Kubelwagen earned a reputation for rugged simplicity during wartime operations.
The period vehicle ran on a 998 cm3 petrol engine and could reach top speeds near 80 km/h. Despite lacking 4x4 drive, it handled varied terrain reliably and saw service on many fronts. The model reflects the Kubelwagen's plain body panels and central tube chassis design.
This Italeri kit features working suspension and a steering front axle to enhance the building experience. You get an openable engine lid and finely detailed engine parts, plus a detachable canvas roof and realistic windows for display. The kit also includes rubber tyres and a decal sheet to finish the model.
