The Tamiya 26533 Kubelwagen Type 82 in 1/48 scale is a carefully finished display model that reproduces the character of this World War II vehicle. Designed originally by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche for civilian use, the Kubelwagen was adapted by the German army for its light weight and dependable air-cooled engine.
This finished piece depicts a Kubelwagen assigned to JG52 in Italy in May 1944. Interior fittings and the underbody receive the same attention as the exterior, and the paintwork features a light wash plus realistic weathering to enhance display realism.
Pad-printed markings and spin-cast metal components add authenticity and extra weight. The model sits well alongside other 1/48 German subjects or aircraft, bringing a period feel to display layouts.
