Meng's new German Pkw.K1 Kübelwagen Type 82 (North Africa) in 35th scale...
German Pkw.K1 Kübelwagen Type 82 (North Africa)
From Meng Models
1/35th scale
Available in: August 2024
Kit No #VS-015
Meng is in production of their new-tooled German Pkw.K1 Kübelwagen Type 82 (North Africa) in 1/35th scale. They have had a lot of conversations with the modelling public on this one (but still coming up with vynil tyres? 😬) - on what to do to make this potentially the best in it's class.

We don't know how this got through to the keeper, and you may well like vynil tyres, but we do not know why people keep on making them in their kit releases.

The Kit:
Meng's kit no #VS-015 "German Pkw.K1 Kübelwagen Type 82 (North Africa)" in 1/35th scale will be 108mm long, 46mm wide and 43mm high once assembled. This kit includes fine decals, quality soft vinyl tires and provides three paint schemes. They are calling this kit "The Lightning Horse".

The kit's features:
Spare jerry cans become especially important, & the "Lightning Horse" model kit will include spare jerry cans along with their mounting brackets. These elements will not only add to the realism of the model but also give you more options to do a long-range version if you like.

Additionally, due to different production batches, the horn on early bucket cars was installed below the left rearview mirror, while later models had it moved to the front of the left fender. To meet the needs of modellers, we have designed two mounting positions for the horn. You can choose either position based on your preference.

For the headlights, Meng will provide both transparent covers and light control covers. You can choose to build either version according to your preference.

This kit includes a folded soft top designed by digital sculpting. Other details of the vehicle are accurately represented.

The front windshield can be assembled up or down, your choice...

The Pkw.K1 Typ82 features independent suspension and a rear-wheel drive system, with the front axle being a steering axle. If we want to replicate steerable front wheels on a scale model, the design requires more separate parts to accurately replicate the steering mechanism. This will make the assembly process extremely complex, and the small parts may break due to insufficient structural strength. Therefore, after careful consideration, Meng decided to give up the steerable mechanism design. Instead, a separate front axle parts design excellently replicates of the actual car structure. It features a simple snap-fit design.

The separate floor parts match the actual structure of the floor rails and is easier to paint.

Optional parts are included such as a Kar 98k rifle and extra fuel tanks.

the seats have that pinched effect around the edges...

The chassis has a three-stage disassembly design, reproducing the structure of the actual car.
