CMK T35017 VW type 230 gas gener. 1/35 – Plastic model kit

CMK T35017 VW type 230 gas gener. 1/35 is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit depicting one of the more intriguing variants of the famous Volkswagen Type 1 from World War II. This version, known as the VW type 230 with a gas generator, was a practical and well-known solution adopted by the Wehrmacht to combat fuel shortages in Germany—instead of gasoline, the vehicle was powered by wood gas, the so-called Holzbrenner.

The model is made in the precise 1/35 scale, ideal for collectors of military dioramas and historical vehicles. It recreates the smallest details characteristic of the gas generators installed behind the cab, allowing modelers to reproduce the unique silhouette of the military VW used mainly by the German army during World War II.

• Scale: 1/35 – making the model a perfect match for other vehicles, figures, and military accessories in the same scale.
• Country of use: Germany. The vehicle served in the Wehrmacht and auxiliary units during World War II (1939-1945).
• Material: high-quality plastic allowing for precise assembly and easy painting.
• Historical aspect: The VW Type 230 Holzbrenner was used behind front lines as transportation for officers and technical personnel. Its gas generator variant significantly increased unit self-sufficiency, allowing travel without gasoline deliveries.

• Category: Plastic model kit.
• Assembly difficulty: 3/5 – the set is dedicated to both intermediate and experienced modelers. The detailed instructions help avoid assembly mistakes, but the level of detail requires precision and patience.
