Historical Notes

The Kübelwagen became a defining utility car of WWII, operating across virtually every theatre of combat. Mass production began in February 1940, and by the end of the war more than 50,000 examples had been built for the German armed forces. Despite being over a foot longer than the American Jeep, the Type 82 was roughly 300 kg lighter, reflecting its simple and efficient design.

Display and Finishing Potential

The generous 1/6 scale offers ample scope for weathering, detailing and personalisation. Modellers will find it an ideal canvas for period-correct paint schemes and realistic scenarios, from front-line service to rear-area support roles. With its moving parts and refined interior, this Dragon kit provides a compelling platform for showcasing advanced finishing techniques.
