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.

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