Hi all
Good evening folks. I got a question that I hope someone can help me with. Two questions really. I'm building Tamiya's Kubelwagen as a medic's vehicle. My first question is what if any changes would the Germans have made to the vehicle in order for it to be used in this manner. Next, I want to have it towing a captured US cargo trailer. What type of gear would a medical vehicle carry, other than personal gear of the medics and crew. ?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Dragon makes a conversion for the Kubelwagen that includes a doctor-type figure and female nurse. While it is probably geared towards the DML/Hasegawa/Bego Kubelwagen, it most likely will fit the Tamiya or Italeri Kubelwagens as well.
I doubt the Kubelwagen has enough HP to pull a US cargo trailer. They don't have a trailer hitch either.

Thanks for the reply,and for the heads up on the
kubelwagen not being able to tow the cargo trailer. I've had one in my spare parts box for awhile and was looking for somthing to use it with.

you could have some german soldiers rummaging through the trailer looking for some medical supplies. with the medic Kubelwagen nearby.
