1:43 Scale Metal Diecast – Volkswagen Kübelwagen - VW Type 82 Black - Wehrmacht - Length: 3.5", Width: 1.5” This truck model is made of a combination of metal and plastic parts. The coloring and markings are accurate and realistic. The maker of the model really did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very clear and crisp. These models have different details engraved such as doors, hatches, panels, lights, ports, antennas, machine guns, ropes, shovels, etc; all of these done with high accuracy and proportion. When they are painted in different color, say for example, shovels and ropes, they are indeed painted accurately. These models come in really nice packaging. The model itself is attached (via screws) to a cardboard base. The mode can be detached from the base and the wheels are made of plastic and can roll. These models are not toys, they will not last long if played with or if taken for a spin in the sandbox. The box measures 5 inches by 2.5 inches wide by 2.5 inches high. The Volkswagen Kübelwagen was a light military vehicle designed by Ferdinand Porsche and built by Volkswagen during World War II for use by the German military (both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS). Based heavily on the Volkswagen Beetle, it was prototyped as the Type 62, but eventually became known internally as the Type 82.
