1/35 VW Kubelwagen Ambulance

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

This is the military ambulance version of the Kubelwagen, as designed by Doctor Porsche. With the help of its torsion bar suspension and limited slip differential, it could negotiate the rough terrain better than some 4WD vehicles, especially on slippery surfaces.

Bego’s Kubelwagen was originally released in the early 1990s. At that time, its molding was far superior to that of other AFV kits; the parts were thin and fine and the detail was exquisite. Seventeen years have passed since then, and the kit’s excellence has not waned at all. This time around, additional parts have been included, for the extended canvas top and the transparent side window screens. Seven figures are included (driver, two army medics, a doctor, a nurse, and two wounded soldiers) with medical supplies (the photo below does not show the driver and a kneeling medic figure). Engine detail can be partially seen in the engine compartment. Decals are included for one ambulance and the medical crew’s emblems.
