An alternative take on a german war machine. The base of the engine is a type 4 motor from the t3 bus kit with a porsche 356 fan conversion and everything else is either scratched or from the spares box. The cage, seats, wheels and tyres are from the beretta pro street kit. Paint is all humbrol enamels dry brushed for w well worn effect. Its interesting to see how much of the kubelwagen chassis was usec under the type 82 vw Joe built, until he built it I'd assumed they were on a bug chassis. Now if someone would do a 1/24 schwimwagen....

Now that's something one doesn't see every day! Nice work! I once contemplated putting a shortened 1:35th Kubelwagen body on an Airfix Bugle Beach Buggy chassis but (as usual) it didn't happen and at the price the Airfix kit fetches these days it's not going to! Prior to the advent of the Bugle Buggy I had shortened the Airfix Beetle pan to build something of the sort, I ended up shortening the Beetle body to fit it... I second the wish for a 1:24th Schwimwagen, it would be nice with a '60s California look: wide chrome alloys with sand tyres, flower power paint job and an overhead rack with surf boards. What could be better than a Beach Buggy that floats?
Regards,
M
