Want an RC Kubelwagen

Post by Jimster »

Okay. I’ve become focused on the Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502 because of my initial production Tiger and my new war hero, Otto Carius. He wrote about using some of the unit’s Kubelwagens for reconnaissance work and transportation to meetings at field headquarters. There’s even a photo of him in one which is awesome. Not to mention that my first four vehicles were all VW Beetles because I love Volkswagens. :D Awesome engines and history. I digress.
Do any of my fellow forum friends (or otherwise) have one to sell me or could anyone link me to a vendor for one. Amazon and Ebay turn up nothing so I was hoping to utilize the power of our global community. Thanks in advance for any leads.

At this hour I can only digress too. Otto’s story is amazing. To survive all that is just a miracle.

On the topic. Isn’t Ludwig doing something in the way of Kubelwagens?

Hi Jim, Catherine here..
we do have a custom 3d printed kubelwagen which can be supplied with or without turret.
Its 2wd as per original has full working suspension, and is full RC.
Image this is the one William built for himself with turret as an armoured scout car
This was when we had 3 of them lined up against each other whilst we were designing them
Image

How are you getting on with the Pak40 & Fuel trailer we sent you?

Let me know if you would like more pictures or details of the Kubelwagen's we have.

Catherine
