Embark On A Journey To The Heart Of World War Ii'S Desert Warfare With The Tamiya 1/35 Kubelwagen Type82 (Africa) 35238 Model Kit, A Meticulously Detailed Representation Of One Of The Most Iconic Military Vehicles Of The Era. Born From Dr. Ferdinand Porsche'S Vision For A Civilian Car Designed For The German Autobahn In February 1936, The Kubelwagen'S Destiny Took A Sharp Turn Towards Military Excellence. Despite Its Civilian Origins, The Wehrmacht Quickly Recognized The Vehicle'S Potential, Transforming It Into The Pkw. K1 (Vw-Kubelwagen), A Machine That Would Leave An Indelible Mark On The North African Campaign.
Designed For The Desert:
The Kubelwagen Type 82 Was A Marvel Of Engineering, Featuring A Lightweight Monocoque Body And A Sophisticated Torsion Bar Spring-Based Four-Wheel Independent Suspension System. Its Air-Cooled Four-Cylinder 985Cc Engine, Delivering 23.5Hp, Ensured Reliability In The Harshest Conditions. What Set The Africa Variant Apart Was Its Adaptation For The Desert – Equipped With Continental Balloon Tires, This Model Could Navigate The Challenging Terrains Of North Africa With Unmatched Ease.
Adaptable And Reliable:
The Kubelwagen'S Design Was A Testament To Adaptability And Reliability, Qualities That Made It Invaluable To The Wehrmacht Units In North Africa. The Vehicle'S Air-Cooled Engine Eliminated The Need For Coolant, A Critical Advantage In The Scorching Desert Heat. Furthermore, The Inclusion Of Both Grooved And Ungrooved Balloon Tires, Wider Than Standard Tires And Necessitating A Raised Spare Tire Attachment On The Hood, Underscored Its Readiness For Desert Operations.
A Veteran Of Many Battles:
After The North African Campaign Ended In May 1943, The Balloon Tire-Equipped Kubelwagen Type 82 Saw Action On The Italian Front, Proving Its Versatility Across Different Theatres Of War. By The War'S End, Approximately 51,000 Units, Including Variations, Had Been Produced, Each Contributing To The Legacy Of This Remarkable Vehicle.
