Post by Jnewboy » Wed Jan 16, 2013 10:56 am

Years ago I made a cool winter Kubelwagen with the top up using a kit from the Hun. I would love to make another but cant get another.. is there anyone who can help or make one? Im sure I am not the only person who would like one :D

Yes and the one I used of his came out great, but he is MIA as I have not got an email or PM returned in quite sometime. Does anyone know his status? Any plans to re-make this cool custom? Perhaps Pickelhaube?

I was planning to make the top along with a front windshield replacement but I have since moved in another direction.

It just needs to go on the list of things to do.

See stuff like this would be great to have. You can still get ahold of the Kubelwagen for a reasonable price and this type of modification can be done by just about anyone. You don’t have to be a modeling master. Someone should make this. It would sell pretty well. Even I would buy one or two kits and that’s saying something as I seldom have the time to do these things. :cry:
