Kübelwagen Type 82

The left rear wheel will be with an flat tire. I cut the bottom of the wheel down to the rim, then glued a piece of extra plastic, wider than the wheel, and cut out the rubber wrinkles.

August 20, 2022
I have started making an engine from scratch (plastic card 0.5 and 0.3 mm, sprue). This is just the start...
16
August 20, 2022
Another detail of the engine: I started making a generator from the sprue (a long sprue is more convenient to hold in hands, the generator itself, of course, will be short)
17
August 20, 2022
Not finished engine. There are no details yet - a fuel pump, a generator, pipes, wires, etc.
18
August 26, 2022
Engine from scratch. For that, I used 0,3 and 0,5 mm plastic cards, sprue, and a few bolts from Meng Nuts and Bolts set A (small). While there is no carburetor, pipes, and wires

January 6, 2023
Started from scratch to make a carburetor with a cylindrical air filter. Imitation of rubber connecting hoses made of masking tape. There are no pipes, levers, or rods on the carburetor yet.
20
February 11, 2023
More details. I reworked the distributor (made it smaller), added levers to the carburetor, and tubes for the mix and ignition wires. The tube for ignition cables is made from the syringe needle, for the mix - is from stretched sprue.
21
March 26, 2023
I made door handles from 0.5 mm copper wire. Also made loops for the awning. For this, I used a 0.2 mm copper wire.
22
March 26, 2023
Supports for Windshield are made from a beer can tin.
23
March 26, 2023
I made a toolbox from scratch, cut off plastic straps from the awning, corrected the folds, and made new straps from a thin aluminum sheet.
24
March 26, 2023
From a black fishing line 0.3 mm, I made brake lines.
25
March 26, 2023
I made the wheels turned

Steering gear and rods from scratch. For the rods, I use 0,5 mm copper wire.
27
July 6, 2023
On the back seat will be a very interesting German optical communication device - Li Spr 80. I started making boxes for this equipment and prepared a weight-deformed place on the seat for them.

From scratch, I started making Li Spr 80 device. This is a front-end panel. Not finished yet, there must be two regulators, four radio tube handles, three more sockets, wires, and so on.

Tripod for the optical part of the device Li Spr 80 from scratch

The optical part of Li Spr 80 is made from scratch. Lenses from a transparent lid from a yogurt.

I finished making boxes for Li.Spr.80.
The frames of the boxes are made from aluminum tin from wine cork.
The black stains look terrible, they are from black CA glue, but I hope after painting, they won't be seen.

Can't believe your micro sculpting skills 👍 May I ask how you altered the fender? Hot water? Hot hair drier? I'm liking where this is going, Guy 👍🙂

Vytautas
Hi, Guy Rump, Bruce, thank you for your kind words!

About sculpting:
Hot water, pliers, hair dryer, etc. - are technologies that I do not use because it is impossible to control the final result. I use a simple carving - in this case, I can make exactly what I want.
I explained my method here: britmodeller.com/for..644-plastic-carving/

Bruce Huxtable
Many thanks, Vytautas, your skills are creating a little gem. I think I'll give these techniques a try., but I'll need a few crumpled cars for inspiration!

20 August 2022, 17:53

Vytautas
Hi again Bruce
I like your idea of rumpled cars!
Once upon a time, I planned to make a heavily damaged luxury car, one of those that all modelers make shiny and sparkling, for example, the Ferrari Pininfarina or Enzo...
But then I realized that military vehicles are more interesting to me

Bruce Huxtable
One day, the urge will return, Vytautas, and I can't wait to see an un-loved and battered supercar 😉

Nice progress here. Like the flat tire where it is difficult to achieve a convincing impression with molded plastic wheels.
