That Kubel is really neat.

Very cool. Your group has an outstanding amount of German gear. I saw at least 4 if not 5 OT/251's, a Panzer III, Kubel, Schwimmer, v3000's, etc.. That and some Russian armor. Too much fun!

Whats really going to surpise you is that the Panzer III is a replica, built from the ground up. It was made from M 113's APC's. I rode in it a few times, in the gunners position.

Thank you, I'm putting alot of original parts on it as well as correct replica parts from Europe. My Kubel is not an exact copy of the original, but it is close and I feel that I can make it even better than the company who makes them in NM.

Wow, yes I can see that now with one missing road wheel and the road wheel's not having any holes in them. They got the idler and the gear wheel either accurate or the real thing though. Awesome either way and I'm sure it's a lot easier to find 113 than P3 spares!

The idler and the gear wheel are replicas as well, custom built from tractor wheels (I believe). They do amazing work and they are a part of my reenacting unit. I am trying to get them to finish my Kubel. They are building another tank I believe, maybe a Panzer IV or a Stug. Not sure yet either way they will put the right number of road wheels on it. I will be with the Panzer III and halftrack in April for an event. The SS halftracks are in California with a different unit. The event in April will be a big event, I hear there will be 5 stuart tanks there along with a Tiger tank (Saving Private Ryan Movie tank). Plus many other vehicles. Will take alot of pics there. The Event is in Indiana.

Where can I find info on the April event, I live in Indiana!

Please look on the website and call first before you go. You might be able to at least look at the vehicles and equipment before we go out in the field. Below is some links:

Thats all the pics I have. The latest item I got for the Kubelwagen project is a MG-34 It is built on a torch cut reciever. I will convert to propane later on. Right now it is a display gun. Will keep you guys updated.

Take care-
