Interesting. I guess push starting it with the tank is out of the question. ;D ;D ;D

Another cool and not so often seen choice. So will it actually be pulling something when done?

Howdy, Erik, my friend ??

C´mon dude, it´s been 10 days since you posted TWO pictures showing the strenuous "opening box stage" ;D ;D ;D

Don´t tell me aliens abducted you and then you woke up in L. Vegas, with a void in your short term memory... and 2 Grands less in your savings ... ;D ;D

Just jerking, Erik... ;D

Here's a lil' update on th Kubel ..... Everything's prepped for th P.E.


Somewhat of an Exploded View .... Funny ... It reminds Me of th time I had My '63 Bug & thought it was a good Idea to take most of it apart !!


Door Handles shaved & ready for th P.E. !!


Mr. Dissolved Putty will have a go at these Tires !!


I was excited to see th "Floor Boards" are not molded on ... makes painting them a lil' easier !!


The Hood is cleaned up & ready for some P.E. bits


Then here's th Motor .... Some X-Tra work is in order for this Lil' Power plant !!

More pix to follow ... I'll get some work & have it posted by this Week-end !!

From th Where are They now files ...... A much needed update !!

Shot with Vallejo's German Grey Primer, I then highlighted it with Model Air German Grey + German Camo Beige ( model color) at a 90 degree angle to th floor of th Kubel. The brown around the Oh Sh#t Bar ( which is actually molded on the bar) is , in real life a leather padded wrap, painted with Vallejo Leather Brown, dry brushed with German Camo Beige


Th Speedo was picked out with Vallejo Panzer Colors White (#344) & Vallejo Games Black


I did some wear & tear on th interior with German Camo Black/Brown


The wooden "Floor Boards" thankfully are molded separately & get a base coat of Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan , I'll come back & dot filter with Brunt Siena & Burnt Umber Oil paint to give it a woody appearance !


The top in th kit really lacked any texture, so I turned to My good friend th Ice Cream wrapper ! This particular flavor of Klondike Bar has Texture in th wrapper. Once it is separated from it's Wax paper backing, the Foil is really less than a 1/16th of an inch & really pops after some drybrushing. I'll accent th Top under th foil with some Evergreen rod to bring out the Bows in th top, as They are less prominate in th molded version ( more on this to come)


The Wheels are painted th same way as th interior.


I used some Brass Rod for the Valve stems !! The rim was drilled & rod inserted & clipped to size


I used some of the Edward P.E. set for th Italeri Kubel - here attaching the door handles. These were chipped up with Vallejo German Camo Black/Brown


Since this lil' ride will belong to th Werkstatt Unit .. some Damage was in order. I used My Dremel to inflict some dents upon th Fender !!


I used some brass rod to make the wiring for the headlights. Edwards P.E. set was called on for th bump stops for th Windshield, the reinforcement on th hood & the License Plate . I still need to add a piece of brass rod to th filler cap as the real on had a retainer attached to th Cap & th body of th spout.

Well that's all for now ..... Alright , Hold Tight .... Who's up for a Pub Crawl ?
