Hey gang!
Here are a couple of shots of my latest project: Bego’s 1/35 scale Kubelwagen. I finished it up over the weekend and got it in front of the camera last night. The kit’s a real sweetie and just fell together. And as a bonus, it comes with a full engine, two figures, and the “up top” that’s missing from a lot of other kits.
Look for a full Workbench Review of this kit in the November issue.
I hope you like it!

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a very nice build. Really is a bonus that you get a full engine. I wish Tamiya offerings were alike in that respect.
sweet build. really like the look of the wagen. wish I knew who Bego was.
nice build, Matt.

That looks great Matt. I was looking at the (very expensive) Tamiya 35th scale German kirby and wanna know what color(s) you used to make the panzer grey with.
Looks cool and sharp, indeed.
wow looks incredible.

Sweet photography and super tight paint. Very clean, it looks privately owned, non military. Are the tires rubber in this kit, like some Academy kits, or injection plastic?
Very nice job!
Nice job Matt. I saw this mentioned in the Sept issue of FSM. Looking forward to your review.

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys!
As I understand it, Bego is staffed by former Tamiya employees. Just looking at the trees, you’d swear it was a Tamiya kit. It’s no clone of the Tamiya Kubel, though. I did I side-by-side comparison and they’re completely different kits.
The kit has plastic combined wheel-and-tire assemblies. Everything’s molded in tan plastic.
My model’s painted straight-from-the-bottle Tamiya German Gray (XF-63). I gave it a light wash of artist’s oil paint, but I held off on heavy weathering. I’m thinking I may use it in a diorama down the road, and I want it to match the groundwork.
