Historical Description and Vehicle Specification

The Kubelwagen Type 82 was the basic light off-road car of the Wehrmacht, used by the German army from 1940 until the end of World War II (1939-1945). The vehicle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche and manufactured by Volkswagen. It was based on simple technical solutions, such as rear-wheel drive, a lightweight pressed steel body, and excellent mobility in difficult terrain conditions.

The presented kit depicts the version of the vehicle used by the Ramcke Parachute Brigade, which operated in North Africa during the desert campaign. The brigade was active from 1942 and took part in the Battle of El Alamein as well as other well-known engagements. The Kubelwagen was an indispensable liaison and reconnaissance vehicle there.
