| A few weeks ago my son handed me a 1/24th scale Volkswagen Kubelwagen saying: '...Bought this, started it, bored with it, ...do you want it?' As I'm not in the habit of turning down free kits, I gladly took it off his hands, and within 2 hours I had it painted.  .....I managed to finish the car at the weekend....and the reason it's not in the Military section ! ...Surfs up !! |

| The absent MG 34 or 42 machine gun is my only issue! I like it.
It will go on the list of 'kits I'd like for something different to build'
Any engine pics, Ron?
Cheers,
Chris |

| Gun toting surfers....never! Peace, man !
I even added a padded bar where the spandau was originally fitted.
Sorry Chris, no engine detail.
The kit was part built when I got it, and that included the engine behind a glued engine cover.
Thanks for all the comments. |

| Awww. so sweet! Fast work, fer sure. I'd go for a different paint scheme, but it mocks the intended war use, "Make Waves, Not War!" |
