Kubelwagen Type 82 (Africa) (1/35) 35238
This 1/35 scale Tamiya model kit reproduces the VW Kubelwagen Type 82 Africa Version, adapted for the harsh desert conditions of the North African campaign during WWII. Originally designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche as a civilian vehicle, the Kubelwagen was quickly pressed into military service. The lightweight monocoque body, torsion bar suspension, and air-cooled 985cc engine delivering 23.5hp made it highly reliable and easy to repair, especially in extreme climates.
For desert service, the Africa Version was fitted with wide Continental balloon tyres, available in grooved or ungrooved versions, to improve performance on sand. A raised spare tyre mount was added to accommodate the larger tyres. These vehicles were widely used by Wehrmacht units in communications and liaison roles, and some continued service in Italy after the North African campaign ended in May 1943.
- Detailed depiction of the North Africa–spec Kubelwagen Type 82.
- Includes balloon tyre set with authentic tread patterns.
- Accurate interior and exterior detailing.
- Choice of grooved or ungrooved tyre style.
- Marking options for North African and Italian theatre vehicles.
Including all variants, over 51,000 Kubelwagen Type 82 vehicles were produced by the end of WWII, cementing its reputation as one of the most versatile and dependable light vehicles of the war.
