Das Werk Kubelwagen Typ 82 DAK Version – 1/16 Scale
The Das Werk Kubelwagen Typ 82 DAK Version is a 1/16 scale plastic model kit depicting the German military vehicle in its Deutsches Afrikakorps configuration. Featuring equipment associated with the North African campaign, this large-scale kit includes a detailed engine, interior, two figures and four historical paint and decal options.
The DAK-specific modifications include additional jerrycans fitted in mounting brackets, balloon tyres and a modified dashboard. These details distinguish this version from the standard Kubelwagen and provide a distinctive subject for a Second World War vehicle modelling project.
Detailed Vehicle Features
Das Werk has included a range of construction options and individual details across the vehicle. The engine compartment features a detailed reproduction of the engine, while the interior includes the modified dashboard associated with the DAK version.
