Tamiya Kubelwagen Type 82 (2000)

If you’re a fan of the Tamiya RC Tanks, then here’s one accessory you won’t want to be without.

The Kubelwagen was Germany’s counterpart to the American M38 Jeep during WWII. Tamiya makes several WWII RC tanks in 1/16 scale, so it’s fitting that they produced the Kubelwagen in 1/16 scale also.

The Tamiya Kubelwagen is a pretty small vehicle at 1/16 scale, so it’s internals are pretty simple. Not much of a suspension, and a tiny little motor to drive the vehicle. The motor in the front is for steering.

The kit comes complete with a radio system that operates in the 40mhz range, so running alongside your tanks won’t be a problem. Just make sure the Kubel runs alongside your German tanks so it won’t be such easy prey for the Allied tanks.

No polycarbonate here. All styrene plastic, meaning a highly detailed finished model, which is what you’d want sitting next to your scale RC tank.

Manual has a photo of the completed model on the front. A nicely detailed model!
