Very nice build but I think the flag looks a little bit to thick. The rest is great.

Very nice work, amigo. I like the windshield and the wiper effect. Nice touch.
Just the right amount of weathering and this screams for a dio and a figure or two.

I agree and a few folds and tie downs to give the effect of cloth would make it pop. Otherwise, a nice looking build, indeed.

I am pretty sure this is from the VLP Kubelwagen stowage set, and if so, the flag is resin.

Hi all,
Thanks for the kind comments. I should set the record straight however, this Kubel was built a couple years ago and is in the "Panzer Destruction Course" diorama. I will send Vinnie some photos of the entire diorama.

In answer to a few of the questions:

Jesper (SGTJKJ),
This is the Tamiya Kubelwagen, a lovely little kit.

Jan Persson (Tordenskiold),
You are correct, the flag/tyre combination is the resin offering from Verlinden. It is a bit thick isn't it?

Al (AJLaFleche),
Tie-downs probably would have been a good idea prior to the photos. I'll have to pull the dio out of storage to see if I ever did put the tie downs on.

Again, thanks to all for the comments and I'll try to send more photos in the near future.

Cheers,
Charles
