The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of German military car in 1:35 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows building a model of the German Kübelwagen Type 82 car from the World War II period. The vehicle was one of the most produced and most exploited German vehicles. It was used by the Germans on all fronts. Tropical model with balloon tires was used in Africa. The kit includes the drivers figurines, two passengers and two soldiers, which can be used to make dioramas.
