Inspired by Big X's Kubelwagen build, and my idea to mix up the decals, I've put my money where my mouth is and I have a build of my own on a similar theme. In my case it is a Kubelwagen and Schwimmwagen captured and given new markings by my pet unit, Polish 1st Armoured Division in NW Europe 1944/45. I've gone with Tamiya 1/48 because I've already got a few in the cabinet and they suit me the way 1/35 never really has. The kits: European Kubel, there's an Afrika Korps version too, which may or may not have the balloon tyres. Decals are irrelevant here as I won't be using any. Sprue shot. Some nice detail and nothing too taxing. The figures will go straight in the spares box - maybe that map was upside down The Schwimmwagen has much better box art, shame mine won't finish up looking anything like that. Again, there's some lovely detail. Hope I can do it justice. Finally (for now) the decals and their instructions. It's quite hard to see anything there as the instructions are in black and white and the actual decal sheet is mostly white on pale blue backing. Fortunately Toro do everything in full colour on their website - see here Toro Decals. I've got an AB41 on the shelf that could stand a refurb, an Sd.Kfz 250 on back order to do that option and I could always find room for a Greyhound, so quite a useful sheet That's me for now. Construction to start over the weekend. Andy
