CUSTOM KUBELWAGEN
By: Mark V


Here are a couple photos of a custom Kubelwagon that I've been working on the past couple of months. I guess you could say that I have a "rare" kubelwagon, I say that because I believe that there were only 130 of these ever produced. I found a photo of this kubelwagon in a modeling book "Military Miniatures, Modeler's Special Edition Guide to the Kubelwagon" and was instantly attacted to it. It is called a Kubelwagon with a Wood Gas Geanerator. It burns wood in the front of the vehicle and the vapors are piped back to the engine and are combined with low-grade petroleum to run the engine. These were designed because Germany's fuel crisis in WW II. Hope that you enjoy it ! - MarkV
