Very nice re-issue ! I already have two but you can't have to much kubelwagen.
But now we need something new at this scale Mr Tamiya.. how about a schwimmwagen, a bmw R75, a SdKfz 250 ?!
Well, what a nice dream...

Esci/revell is 1/9. Tamiya 1/16 scale is not the same kit.

I have a 1/18 Schwimmwagen made by 21st Century Toys years ago that I got for my daughter's Barbie dolls to tool around in.

Not as realistic as an actual kit would be, but it looks the part.

The image of Barbie wheeling around in a Swimmwagen is rather humorous. Yours must have been an interesting househld

Kettenkrad, or R75 would be nice in 1/16.
