The Italeri Kubelwagen (HC-312) highlights the story of the iconic Volkswagen Kübelwagen used during the Second World War. Early in the campaign in France, General Erwin Rommel recognised the vehicle’s practicality and, once leading the Afrika Korps, ordered increasing numbers thanks to its impressive performance in harsh environments.
Historical Background
- Adopted by Rommel during operations in France and later widely used by the Afrika Korps.
- Renowned for efficiency across varied terrain despite modest power output of around 24 HP.
- Rear-wheel drive layout proved effective in challenging conditions.
This reference to the real Kübelwagen provides useful historical context for enthusiasts and modellers alike. Italeri’s Kubelwagen brings focus to a vehicle celebrated for rugged utility, simplicity, and reliability in theatre. Part number HC-312 helps identify this specific Italeri release for those searching or cataloguing their collection.

Rommel was in the first general to use the Volkswagen during the military operation in France. He was so impressed by it that he, afterwards, when he was in charge of the Afrika Korps, reordered an ever increasing number of the vehicles. The K?belwagen distinguished itself immediatley by its enormous efficiency on all kinds of terrain, in spite of its small horse power (hardly 24 HP) and the driver on the rearwheels only.
