Italeri 7405 - 1/9 Scale Type 82 Kubelwagen WWII model kit for display modellers  [IT-7405S]

Kit introduction - Italeri 7405 Kubelwagen 1/9

The Italeri 1/9 scale model of the WWII German Type 82 Kubel Wagen offers display modellers a chance to recreate a classic wartime utility vehicle. Created from Ferdinand Porsche's design and built by Volkswagen, the Kubelwagen became known for its simple engineering and reliable service across many theatres.

Historical note and scale accuracy

The original Kubelwagen ran on a 998 cm³ petrol engine and could reach speeds of up to about 80 km/h. Lacking four-wheel drive did not prevent it from operating effectively in varied conditions during the war. The kit captures the vehicle's unadorned bodywork and central tube chassis for accurate scale presentation.

Detailed kit elements and finishing

This Italeri offering includes working suspension and a steerable front axle to add life to the assembled model. An openable engine lid reveals a highly modelled engine, while the included canvas roof and window parts enhance realism. Rubber tyres and a detailed decal sheet complete what is a thorough modelling package.
