Italeri Kdf1 Type 82 Kubelwagen

The Italeri Kdf1 Type 82 Kubelwagen in 1:9 scale recreates one of the most recognisable military vehicles of the Second World War. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche and produced by Volkswagen, the wartime Typ 82 was engineered for simplicity and reliability, with flat body panels, a central tube chassis and a rear-mounted engine and gearbox. Powered by a 998 cm3 petrol engine capable of around 80 km/h, the two-wheel-drive Kubelwagen served on all fronts and proved dependable across tough terrain. Period vehicles could also be fitted with a support for an MG34 or MG42.

This large-scale Italeri model emphasises that functional character with working suspensions, a steering front axle and an openable lid. A highly detailed engine, rubber tyres, canvas roof and windows, plus a working canvas roof, are complemented by a highly detailed decals sheet and a colour instructions sheet to help achieve an authentic finish.

The straightforward design of the real vehicle is reflected in the model’s clean lines and purposeful detailing, capturing the essence of the Kubelwagen’s rugged utility. Italeri part number HC-7405 offers generous scale presence, making it a striking addition for enthusiasts of WWII military subjects and classic Volkswagen engineering.
