The Blitz 72 brand continues its commitment to providing collectors with detailed, 1:72 scale dioramas. These sets include realistic military structures with finely textured surfaces, vehicles with well-equipped cabs, figures, and additional accessories that enhance each display.
Designed by Ferdinand Porsche as a low-cost and light-weight utility vehicle, the Kubelwagen prototype was completed in 1938 and entered full scale production in February 1940. The chassis design was initially derived from the highly successful Beetle while the bodywork was kept deliberately light-weight and functional. In fact, the name "Kubelwagen" literally translates to "Bucket Seat Car". Unlike the US Jeep, the Kubelwagen was a two-wheel drive vehicle but its high ground clearence and low gearing yielded excellent off-road performance and enabled it to keep pace with marching soldiers. The Kubelwagen was a mainstay of the German Military and saw action in every theater. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
