Pkw K1 Kübelwagen typ 82 / Modelik / 1:16 [FERTIG]

Josve · Mar 31st 2006

Hello all!

I'm starting the build of the Kübelwagen.

The book contains 30 pages, where 14 pages are instructions.There are 138 construction points.The print is wery good, and I'm looking forward to this one. The book I have is in 1:25 but I have ordered the 1:16 book from Modelik.And in the meantime I have tried my best to scale it to 1:16

So my first report comes here. I started with the wheels this time, since I have found out that wheels are not the most funny part to do, so I'll take that first.

Here are the drawing of the wheels.

I started by cutting the tiresides out first. The frame is glued to 1mm karton.With the Olfa circle cutter there are no problems cutting out the centerparts.The major problem as I see it with making of tires are to get the sides bent the right way.The way I do it is as follows.First I use the score tool tol score along the line.Then I use a small tweezer to bend the sides to the right angle as shown on the second picture.

Making of the tireframe goes as follows.The two kartonparts are mounted together with the base for the tracks.I glue this parts bit by bit to assure that they are aligned correctly.When the outside is done, it's time to mount the inner part of the tire.I do this the same way.Glue it bit by bit, so it's not getting messed up.....(as I have done before). The finished result seems rather good.

Mounting of the sides are quite easy.I put glue on the outer and inner part and place the side on place.It doest fit at once, but as i use a knitting needle and my fingers to force the side into place, it fits in the end.
[Blocked Image: http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/7103/kubel89dh.th.jpg]

Time for the pattern.This is not the most enjoyable part.....cutting out the tiny pieces can be rather intense.....When the job is done, I put some glue to the center part of the track, and alighn it to the center of the frame.When it is dry, I put glue to the "flips" 5 by 5 and bend them down the side

Time to make the center part of the wheel.The parts are cutted out and are ready for mounting.I paint the edges here(not sure if It's done on the first pic) The parts has a good fit so far. The tire is ready painted and soon some chalkdust to make the final finish.Now I just have to get the hexagon punch set.....

Josve · Apr 27th 2006

Now that the book in 1:16 has arrived, I'm ready to continue the build of the Kübel.
The book contains 5 pages of written instructions that I dont understand at all and 10 pages of drawn instruktions and 17 pages with parts to cut out.At this stage it seems I have taken water above my head.....It might be a harder build than thought, but I take it as a challenge.I have searched for construction reports with no luck in hope to make it a bit easier.
But here we go!!

The book in 1:16 and a page of parts that are in very good quality, both the print and paper.

Josve,

I am so glad you are doing this model as I happen to drive one of the Typ 82s children. I'll be watching to see how you handle the fenders. I started this Model Kartonowy Kubelwagen a year ago but became frustrated.

Many parts did not fit well and it remains in a box unfinished. . .perhaps this thread will inspire me to finish! Thanks!

GruB, cbg

Josve · Apr 27th 2006

The parts so far has fitted very well.No problems so far.The only problem is that a build like this for me becomes more like a puzzle since I don't read polish and there are 5 pages with written instructions....but since I like puzzles I just go for it and make the road as I go.....

The underside of the hood contained a tank.

Hi cbg,

The Modelik-edition is completely reedited (computerized),

Josve · May 1st 2006

The inside , below the doors was made of 2 pieces of 1,5mm karton glued to eachother. No drawing for this operation, just the numbers on the parts.So I'm just showing the finished result.The total thickness on the side is now 4mm and it was a bit hard to bend into the right angle.The floor is going to be placed between the sides.
I might get the floor done before weekend, if I can get some quiet hours at work...

Michael Urban · May 16th 2006

Johnny,

a very remarkable build. I have the kit myself and so I know how small some of the parts are. You are really doing a wonderful job.

Will be hard to wait for 3 weeks to see more.

Michael

Josve · May 17th 2006

Thanks for your kind words Michael!

In the 3 weeks I'm off work I have planned to finish the Gaz and start on the Horchs. if I can get enough sparetime.

Josve · Jun 7th 2006

So it was time for edgepainting........I use Humbrol army green nr 102 for the greenish and some custom made waterbased indoor paint for the rest.
I brought a print of the colour to the colourshop and they scanned it and made an almost perfect match.

Hello,

great work. I have the "Kübel" build in plastic from Tamiya with RC. It is an little, nice vehicle. I wish you the best for the rest of your build, it look very nice how you do that.

P.S.: if you found some misstakes in my letter, you can take them. My english is not very good

Josve · Jun 10th 2006

Hi peter!Thanks for your kind words!
And your english is good enough for me I'm not that good in english myselves.

Working on the hatches and finishing the rear end.
The hatches are glued in place and the part 51 is mounted.
There was no drawing of that part, it was kind of self explaining...
The part 51 is some kind of cover over the top of the rear end.

Windowsides are made of 0,5mm karton.
The window is just loosely placed to see how it looks.
And the dust is also just to see the effect of the wipermarks and will be enhanced in the end

Now I have started to work on the outer parts of the fenders.

Here are the parts to be used.The parts are laminated so it also will have color on the backside.

Edges are painted to avoid the white stripe along the joint
[Blocked Image: http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/9120/kubel132rq7.th.jpg]

Here I have started to glue the biggest arch to the fender.It's a bit tricky to get it to be nice since there aren't any jointstrips or flips to glue the archer to.
[Blocked Image: http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/4215/kubel133tf0.th.jpg]

The part is sucessfully glued in place
[Blocked Image: http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/356/kubel134ty2.th.jpg]

Next out will be this narrow arch....about 1mm thick.
