The Kübelwagen was the German army's do-anything runabout, and the Type 82 that rattled across North Africa is the one enthusiasts love most — balloon tyres for the desert sand, that tough air-cooled engine, and a shape that's pure WWII workhorse. Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures it beautifully, right down to the interior and underside, making it a rewarding build whether you want a standalone piece or the centrepiece of a desert diorama.
What's in the box
- 1/35 scale plastic assembly kit
- Detailed interior and under-chassis, including suspension arms and engine guard
- Distinctive balloon-type desert tyres
- One standing soldier figure in shorts and short-sleeved shirt
Build it clean for the display shelf or weather it to the eyeballs for a proper Afrika Korps scene — either way it's a characterful little subject that rewards careful painting.
A cracking entry point into 1/35 armour. Paint and cement required, sold separately — pair it with a set of Tamiya acrylics and a figure or two from the wider Tamiya range.
