I would like to know who makes the best German Kubelwagen in 1/72nd scale?
I'm looking for the kit that has the best quality in terms of detail and accuracy.
Thank you.

Wolf-Leader,Jody,
If you are able to find one, the Kubelwagen that comes in the Dragon kit that is combined with a Tiger I appears to be one of the finest I've seen when compared to the offerings of other manufacturers(Airfix, Revell, Bandai, ESCI etc). I reviewed this kit(set) back in 2012 and you can find the review at Tiger and Kubelwagon.
BTW, I never finished the Kubel but rest assured that there are more parts to it than you see including a clear windscreen.
Cheers,
Jan

Jody,
You might want to read this article from "On The Way!" website, which discusses the Academy and Wespe Models:
A tale of three Kübelwagen
Additional comments are on this page:
Academy Kit List
Hasegawa also makes/made one:
Kubelwagen and BMW Motorcycle with Sidecar
S-Model makes two versions, a standard and a DAK version:
S-Model Kit List
DAK Kubelwagen Type 82
DAK Kubelwagen Type 82 Build Review
Italeri (ESCI?) also make/made one:
Kübelwagen Type 157
Dragon makes/made one with a Tiger I kit, #7434, but Jan Etal addresses it in his post above.
I hope all of this helps, but I am not familiar with the kits to tell you which is better.
