Hi;
I have both and I can say they´re all very good (anyone!), but the Tamiya offers the mechanic set and a fully detailled motor....
If I gonna buy one right now I would stick with the Tamiya, but sometimes you can find the Italeri model at very fair prices....
The Dragon models I didn´t know nothing...
Cheers

Here in France, you find the italeiri one for 10€ and the tamiya for 20€...
So as I'm not representing the hood open, I went for italeiri.

I don't know the new TAMIYA but between the old one and ITALERI I prefer the last one, because it have finer details.

I have built two Tamiya Kubelwagon's. One was just a stand alone, but I soon realized that it needed to be in a diorama to seem useful. So I built another one. It is a good kit.

yeah some clarification may be needed.....from what i understand tamiya do a couple of 1/35 scale kits and the 1/16 scale kit. Im working on the bigger one now......so far a very good kit. Ideal for anyone like me who hasnt done any scratch building or modificatons to a kit before. Not that this one needs it but in this scale its great to work with. The desert tyres look kool too.

I had no idea what a Kubelwagen was until a few weeks ago... call me a buckethead. If I brought a model of one of those home, my mom would look at it and say, 'cute!'......

welcome yodaman and all you other bucketheads. i am going to make a dio with kubelwagens and a mercedes-benz 3000 truck with a cook stove in back. maybe a panzer, but i do not know. people just sitting and laying around eating and gabbing. ss, army and paratroops chowing together.

GO BUCKETHEADS!

See? So I´m not the only one that thinks some armor can be cute!
C´mon. What else can it be if it´s a Volkswagen with looks of a soap and the most dangerous weapon in it is the shovel! Oops. I don´t know if there are heavier weapons in Kubel, I was talking about the Schwimmie...both as cute as they come.

Envar and Yodaman, maybe some armor can be called cute but the real question is "Should It?"

So, what would you say are the best respective Kubelwagen and Schwimmie kits? (I hope I spelled those right) I've been surfing the gallery again and I think that it would be fun to build those. I'd prefer to do them in 1/35. I think you said earlier that the two best kits were Tamiya and, uh, I don't remember the other one.... (help me.... :-) )

dragon............they got a bunch of them. i like tamiya's schwimmwagen and dragon's kubelwagen..............your spelling is not that bad. oh yeah, dragon adds photoetch and extra parts for other variants.

Tamiya Schwimm 1/35 is great. I discovered many details in there when I was finishing the paintwork!

Yeah! Though I think it would be more cute if it had a cannon shooting tomatoes!
(Joe Pesci voice:)Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok.

No more transvestiting masculine vehicles!
