Tamiya 25153 1/35 Captured Kubelwagen Staff Car with 4 Figures  [25153]

Tamiya 1/35 Russian Commanders and Staff Car Kit Overview

This Tamiya 1/35 Russian Commanders and Staff Car kit recreates a captured German Kubelwagen that was put into service by Russian forces, making a strong addition to any military modelling shelf. The set includes four finely modelled commander figures in period uniforms, giving diorama builders realistic staging options.

Wartime Background

After the 1941 invasion, captured German vehicles were sometimes pressed into Soviet service. Battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk saw surviving machines reused with new registration marks and adapted roles. This kit reflects that wartime improvisation and the practical reuse of enemy equipment.

Model Highlights

The kit assembles to a 1/35 scale Kubelwagen with a finished length of 110mm. Figures show lifelike poses and wear either the rubashka shirt or the 5-button tunic common among mid-war Russian commanders. The figure masters were produced by ICM in Ukraine, and decals for vehicle registrations and shoulder insignia are provided to increase authenticity.
