stitchdup Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Recieved an email from hobby search this morning that put a smile on my face. The hasegawa pkw kubelwagen is getting rereleased in the egg girls series. I've built one and it was a good kit. Happy to see it back again so I wont have to pay ebay prices. The engine could also possibly be used to back date the gunze split beetle to 1948 spec with a couple of changes.http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10454768
Daddyfink Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Yup, I have one but now it looks like I need a second one! I wish Hasegawa would sell those figures separately
stavanzer Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Drat!I really like the kit, but want one with the standard tires,not the big Sand tires. I wonder if Hasegawa sells just the tires? Either way, I'll be on the lookout for one.
Daddyfink Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Need this kit and this one too Edited May 11, 2017 by Daddyfink
stitchdup Posted May 11, 2017 Author Posted May 11, 2017 What scale are these kits?ScottIt's 1/24, but be careful if your ordering bacause they do them in 1/35 too
Mike999 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Drat! I really like the kit, but want one with the standard tires,not the big Sand tires. I wonder if Hasegawa sells just the tires? Either way, I'll be on the lookout for one. There are several eBay sales up now for the Hasegawa "Early Version," which seems to have regular tires. It also has different rear fenders, skid plate, etc. These are not only nice kits, but they include a great selection of 1/24 WWII accessories like a jerry can, weapons, ammo boxes, etc.
stitchdup Posted May 11, 2017 Author Posted May 11, 2017 One related vehicle I'd like to see in 1/24 is the schwimwagen, not because it's military but just to round out my vw collection. Not sure how I would build it but my last kubelwagen was done as a ratty drag car with a turbo motor. The next one will be done late 80's early 90's cal look
unclescott58 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 I'd like to see 1/25 or 1/24 scale VW Type 181. The Thing.Scott
Daddyfink Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 I'd like to see 1/25 or 1/24 scale VW Type 181. The Thing.Scott Definitely! Why they have not done any of the other types in scale is beyond me. A squareback, fastback or notchback would also be nice.
martinfan5 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 I wish Hasegawa would sell those figures separately No need, there are plenty of figures being made in 1/24th scale as of late , just gotta look.
martinfan5 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) If it comes with the figure I'm in..It does come with the figure.Wild Egg Girls No.02 Pkw.K1 Cubel Wagen Type 82 `Claire Frost` w/figure (Plastic model) Edited May 13, 2017 by martinfan5
Daddyfink Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 No need, there are plenty of figures being made in 1/24th scale as of late , just gotta look. Yes, there are quite a few, but, I like the Anime style ones
unclescott58 Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Definitely! Why they have not done any of the other types in scale is beyond me. A squareback, fastback or notchback would also be nice. How about a 411 4-door? Believe it or not, but I've always liked that car.Scott
Mike999 Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Yes, there are quite a few, but, I like the Anime style ones Me too. Back in the 90s, Gunze Sangyo did several 1/24 kits that included anime girls. In the VW pic below, the girl on the left is wearing eyeglasses. The glasses were done in photo-etched metal, along with the VW emblem and a few other parts. Gunze's Fiat 500 got the same treatment, and had engine detail. With an anime girl mechanic!

And yes, those figures are super well done. The cars have been issued and re-issued without the figures, but those figures seem to be a one shot deal. Not my build. Edited May 16, 2017 by Daddyfink
89AKurt Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Ordered and received this kit [1:24 scale Hasegawa Kubelwagen] today! Edited March 31, 2018 by 89AKurt deleted picture because I maxed out
niteowl7710 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Are you so offended by a Hasegawa themed anime connection you had to scribble her out of existence? Pretty sure everyone here has seen a blonde in a bikini before...
89AKurt Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 If I wanted a bikini girl there are better choices.
socal76 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Kurt, if you really could care less about the anime bikini girl, there seems to be several that you could send it to, myself included!
Richard Bartrop Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Fortunately, we are under absolutely no obligation to use every single part that comes with the kit.
