Hello,

Aside from DEF Models and Mantis Miniatures, are there other manufacturers offering such? Would there be injection molded offerings other than resin?

Cheers,

Tat

Tat, I do not believe anyone offers a plastic top.

I built a Kubel years ago that had a plastic canvas top but the model was very poorly detailed and the top was the same.

Others may have more info however.

Both Trakz and Decal Star had released a resin top for the Kubelwagen. The Trakz one is OOP, but maybe you could still find the Decal Star one... :

I have a resin top for the Schwimmer that is nice but right now I cannot remember who made it.

Thanks Michael, Frenchy! I think Trakz is the one that has the frame molded underneath (?) Will take a look at Decal Star as well. Cheers, Tat
