Good day guys!
A Bank holiday yesterday and a small break took place. I took advantage of it and managed to finish two little models, that I am sure you all know about. Behold, the famous and magnificent Kubelwagen! I bought Italeri's #7024 kit, last Saturday and since it consists of two models per kit, I came up to the decision of following two colour variations in terms of painting. I painted one in early war colours (panzer grey) and one in late war (dunkelgelb) colours. The models were built in 10-15 minutes each, their details were nice and crisp, but there was a little problem - Italeri doesn't provide any drivers for these vehicles, so you have to come with an idea (or other spare figs) to fill the driver's seat. This isn't a big deal, but, I think they should be included in the kit.
On with the photos then:
If someone wants to include these little daemons in his army for his officers, this kit does seem appealing (except for this little drawback I mentioned earlier).
I hope you like 'em!
C&C are more than welcome!

nice one. the last pic make them look like they are about to race each other
ReplyDeleteThx mate!! Vroom vroom!! :)
DeleteGood work, what figs did you use, Prieser?
ReplyDeleteThx Dan!
DeleteThe fig in the grey kubelwagen, is from a caesar's kit, I never managed to paint and the one in the dunklgelb, is from Zvezda's 20mm A/A gun (same story as with the Caesar kit).
Excellent work Thanos, I like the camouflage pattern a lot
ReplyDeleteGracias mate!
DeleteSince I don't have an aerograph, I used paper stencil and sprays.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! The weathering really brings these to life, great work Thanos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. I am afraid I cannot reach your level of painting, but I reckon that they'd fill the task for wargames reasons. :-)
DeleteDamn nice work on both but the dunklegelb came out especially well!
ReplyDeleteThx Fran!
DeletePaper stencil and sprays...That's it really!
Superb work Thanos! I hate kits without drivers or pilots.
ReplyDeleteGreat detailing.
Thx Paul.
DeleteI never understood why they're doing that...it's common sense really. But, then again, who lost it in order to for others to find it???
Really well done. The Kubelwagon is one of those iconic vehicles of WW2 and you have finished them superbly!
ReplyDeleteThank you mate! I always liked this vehicle.
DeleteVery nice work, Sir.
ReplyDeleteThx Jay!
DeleteReally nice modelling there Thanos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Rebel Rodger! :-)
DeleteThx mate! :-)
ReplyDeleteReally nice pair of models, the camo one is particularly impressive; much better than my attempt on the Airfix kit! I also think it's annoying that so many kits don't include drivers!
ReplyDeleteGreat addition with those drivers. And the cars are very well painted. Might get me a pair of these cars to! ;-)
