Kubelwagen Type 82 from Tamiya 1/35 scale

[hansolo]

Hi Guys,

My next build is the Kubelwagen Type 82 from Tamiya.
This sunday I have the home to myself and wanted to build something.
I drove out to the hobby shop yesterday and bought the thing I liked most
of what They had on the shelf, without spending to much money.

I want to do something special with this build.
Mostly I get inspired by old photographs where the tanks or vehicles are set in a specific scene or under specific circumstances.
But so far I haven't found any inspiring ones.
Can any of you guys help me on my way with an old picture or scene or some awesome idea for a conversion or stowage or anything
that will make this build special?

Any help or idea will be gratefully welcomed and appreciated.

Here are the progress pictures of the build:

Actually, the weathering is next on the agenda.
I accidently ripped of some paint when removing a wrong decal.

Stay tuned for some serious weathering.

That's some nice work!
The weathering looks especially great; not too much, just enough.
Two thumbs up!

Looking really good mate. They are a nice little build to do. Maybe you could do a dio on the lines of Monte cassino possibly??

This is DAK. I think it would be out of place at Casino.

Hi Folks,

My Kubelwagen Type 82 DAK is finished!
I had some sand/glue mixture left from another project. So I schmeared it out on a piece of kart board.
Than I thought: Well, let's use it for my almost finished Kubel. So now my Kubel stands in a tiny desert dio!
The Kubel came with 5 figures but I decided to use only 1. To give my dio a deserted feel.

Check it out:

















































That's all folks!
