Italeri 7405 1/9 Kubelwagen kit overview

The Italeri 1/9 scale representation of the WWII German Type 82 Kubel Wagen gives modellers a chance to assemble a faithful replica of a classic military utility vehicle. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche and produced by Volkswagen, the Kubelwagen became valued for simple engineering and dependable performance across varied terrain.

Period background and authentic details

The full-size Kubelwagen used a 998 cm³ petrol engine and could reach roughly 80 km/h. Though not fitted with four-wheel drive, it was appreciated for reliability on many fronts during the war. This kit mirrors the vehicle's functional layout, including the flat body panels and central tube frame construction.

Kit build features and scale detail

The Italeri kit stands out with working suspension and a steerable front axle to increase build authenticity. An openable engine cover and finely modelled engine components boost realism, while the included canvas roof and clear window parts improve display options. Rubber tyres and a comprehensive decal sheet round out the package for a satisfying build.
