The Tamiya 1/35 Russian Commanders and Staff Car kit presents a captured German Kubelwagen reallocated into Soviet service, making for an interesting historical subject. Four commander figures are supplied with distinct poses and uniform details that suit realistic displays.
Soviet forces frequently used captured enemy vehicles during the course of the war, often repainting and renumbering them for local use. This kit mirrors that field practice, showing how a Kubelwagen could serve as a staff transport after capture.
The completed model measures about 110mm long in 1/35 scale. Figures are sculpted to represent either the rubashka shirt or the five-button uniform common to commanders of the era. The figure masters come from ICM in Ukraine and decals are provided for registration plates and shoulder insignia to complete the look.
