COBI Historical Collection German VW Type 82 Kabelwagen Off-Road Passenger Car Desert Sand Kit # 2402

The Type 82 is the most popular passenger car commonly associated with the

German army in the DAK (Deutsches Afrikakorps) desert painting. The production

of the Kbelwagen Type 82 came during the war years, 1940-1945. Prototype

units actually took part in the aggression against Poland. Kbelwagen cars

were also used during the invasion of France. Since then, the Kbelwagen has

become one of the standard vehicles of the German army. It was used by all

types of troops, on all fronts of the war. From a set of 195 COBI construction

blocks, you can build the military passenger car VW Kbelwagen Type 82 and

elements of the surroundings. The model has been reproduced in detail and

faithfully reflects the appearance of the original. In this set, we did not

use any stickers. They have been replaced with high-quality prints. The prints

do not wear off even during intense play. A detailed engine hides under the

rear hood. The set includes a figure of a German soldier DAK with a veiled

mouth, equipped with an MP-40 submachine gun and a cap with an imprint. The

set includes a palm tree, a rock, a barrel and a plate with the name of the

car on it. Kbelwagen is an ideal vehicle for the construction of scenes and

historical dioramas recreating any European front of the Second World War. It

is also the perfect addition to a COBI Strategy Battle Game session. The

manual includes a visualization of the playing card with vehicle statistics.

The model made of COBI construction blocks can not only be a toy in the

children's room, but can also contribute to their interest in history and

automotive design. It will certainly help develop children's motor skills and

increase building dexterity. For adult block fans, it is a beautiful vehicle

model and perhaps the beginning of a future COBI model collection.
