This is the latest dio which I have built.
Kubelwagen Radio car dio completed-1:35 scale.
Recipe.
Figures/car - The Kubelwagen is from Tamiya and is kit #35213 and is built straight out of the box. The radio bench is scratch built using plastic card and the radio set is an old Verlinden kit that I did years ago and using it here after the dio it was on got broken when moving.
I added brackets and details on the radio set using plastic card, resin pieces and photo etched parts. The maps and charts are from and old Verlinden 1/35 map set.
The head set and the small mic I have had in the parts box for years and can't remember which company made them, The map bracket behind the back seat was done using plastic card and half the rifle bracket that came with the kit and the jerry can storage bracket was done using plastic card.
The figures are from ICM and is kit # 35639 and were built straight out of the box except for the radio operator's left arm which was scratch built using spare arms.
Base - The base was done using foam board and the ground work is a mix of 70% spakfilla and 30% sand with medium brown paint added to it.
The bridge is made from balsa wood and the nuts/bolts were done using thin plastic rod and the nail holes were done using a tooth pick.
The ground work was done using grass tufts and small bush clumps which I got from my local gaming shop. The tree and small bushes are from Woodland Scenics fine foliage light green set and the bulrush are from Ammo Mig.
The water was done using a two part resin from Tamiya with a drop of beige brown mixed in and the ripple effect was done using Woodland Scenics Water effects.
