About product

VW Kübelwagen Type 82 (Afrika Korps) - a Hero Hobby Kits model, 1:35 scale

An injection-molded plastic kit from Hero Hobby Kits in 1:35 scale representing the German Volkswagen Type 82 Kübelwagen light cross-country vehicle in the version for the Afrika Korps. The package contains plastic parts, a clear film part and decals with several marking options. The equipment includes items typical of desert service, an MG.34 machine gun, a tank rack and balloon tires for sand. This is a kit to be glued together and painted, not a finished model. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package.

The real subject

The Kübelwagen Type 82 was a German light multipurpose car derived from the civilian KdF-Wagen (the later Beetle), designed by Ferdinand Porsche's engineering team. An air-cooled rear engine, low weight and a simple open body made it a reliable cross-country vehicle that served on every front. In the North African campaign it was the version with balloon tires that proved itself, since they improved mobility in soft sand. The vehicle became the German counterpart of the American Jeep, though with a different drive layout.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin plastic cement and clean up the mating surfaces. Paint the chassis and the interior before the body is closed up. Shades of sand yellow (Dunkelgelb, RAL Sandgelb) suit the desert scheme; choose the particular shade according to a verified reference. The look is completed by dust and mud effects with pigments and a light dry brush on the edges. The open body lets the interior show, so it is worth spending time on the seats, the instrument panel and the machine gun.

Who the model is for

  • For modelers interested in German equipment of the Second World War and in the Afrika Korps.
  • For diorama builders, for whom the vehicle serves as a living element of a desert scene.
  • For collectors of light military vehicles in 1:35 scale.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
