The Kubelwagen was the military version of the Volkswagen car and proved a reliable, rugged and much-liked little workhorse that saw action on every front from the start of the war.

Although it lacked the four-wheel drive of Allied Jeeps, this was compensated to some extent by its lighter construction, locking differential and good ground clearance. It could carry four men (three plus a driver) – sufficient to carry a weapon team or a HQ unit.

This Afrika Korps Kubelwagen has the larger 'balloon' tyres used in the open stretches of the deserts to avoid bogging down in the sand and is packed with stowage and gear to help survive in the harshest of environments.

Contains one resin & metal vehicle and crew, with damage markers and stat card.
