Here's an old but new color image of a cool little Kubel in action. Feel free to add a picture of your favorite Kubelwagen.

They look like hunting down partisans on the eastern front. Great picture!

Here's the original resin and metal Kubelwagon K&C produced in 1996, TK05, alongside the first matt K&C tank crew (and rarest of all K&C matt regular production sets), WS08:

Nice one!

Rob,

Here's a little information about WS04 from the text of the K&C Book (Volume I):

The five original Glossy Waffen SS sets, as described above were repainted in matt, and renumbered WS01-WS04, and WS06. The only change to the positioning of the figures was to the tank crew, WS04. This set, the rarest of the matt SS sets, is only depicted in the June-July, 1997 flyer, standing alongside the resin and metal Jagdpanther, and is omitted from all the price lists except the February, 1996 list, which indicates the set is being re-designed, but omits the price, and the March, 1998 Dealer’s Price List. The subsequent collectors’ price lists skip from WS03 to WS05. The Tank commander in the fully black uniform now holds binoculars in his right hand at waist level, with a book held extended down in his left hand. The crewman in the completely camouflaged jumpsuit now has both hands on his hips, arms akimbo. One crewman in a gray tunic and camo pants now holds a MP40 Schmeisser sub-machinegun extended down in his left hand, with his right hand on his hip, arm akimbo. The other crewman in a gray tunic and camo pants now holds a pistol extended down in his right hand, and a cigarette in his left hand. In the March, 1998 Dealer’s Price List this set retailed for $77.
