Kubelwagen diorama - missing image!
- 1 February 2015 17:04278076[/IMAGE]So here we are! This diorama depicts a german Kubelwagen type 82 late model, being serviced somewhere behind the lines in a series of farm buildings. Scale is 1/35th, buildings are vacform from Miniart, the rest is Tamiya, brush painted in acrylics. This diorama took about three months to build and paint, the Kubel model is a gem, and only £12.50 from Turners on London Rd. I know from some e-mails that some of you like the techy stuff, so here it is - camera used is a Nikon D700 full frame sensor slr, a 105mm F2.5 Nikkor micro lens was fitted with a Marumi DRF14N ring-flash, asa was 800, exposure was F18 at 60th.Two led (daylight balanced) lamps were also used.
Kubelwagens had a VW boxer engine of 1131cc giveibg 25 hp, it had a range of 450km and used 8 litres of fuel per 100km, it had a top speed of 84 kph. aprox 55,000 were built and a 1944 model, complete but in need of major rebuilding recently sold for £22,000!
Next up is a WW1 British Mk4 male tank which will be a runner!

- 1 February 2015 17:32278078Fascinating stuff I doubt there were many remaining by the end of WW2 hence the high price for the 1944 model.
- 1 February 2015 19:48278080Thanks Brian, pleased you like it, in case anyone is interested I did model the rear of the buildings but forgot to add a photo, so I will do that tomorrow! Howard, the Kubel continued in production after the war and two versions were built for the American civilian market and many stayed on in europe. If you look carefully at a kubel can you just make out a VW Golf waiting to be born?Phil Wyborn - Brown at www.wybornphotography.co.uk
