Kubelwagen Radio Car Type 82 by Dave Blankenship

The kit is from Dragon with a few modifications made. The photo etched radio table/compartment was used as a template to cut plastic parts to fit...in the long run, it was a simpler solution than fumbling with the PE. Additional water cans were added, the radio aerial base spring was enhanced using .015 fly tying solder, and sundry stowage thrown in to give the vehicle a lived-in look.



After a bit more weathering,  Dave has plans to place the Kubel in a small diorama. 

The model placed second in the 1/35the scale "Soft Skinned Vehicles" category at the Cleveland Model Show 24 on November 7, 2021.
