| description | i ve just began this new project, a long time with the idea in mind and now it has finally began.
I scaled a blueprint to match the SS wheelbase, and i work with 1mm styrene and percloretylene.
My idea is an open top car, with a complete 8 points rollcage, i ve learned some technics to weld with silver, to make some resin drivers. but for now, the work is on the body. This is how it looks now, assembling, before sanding all the parts. I don't know how much time i will spend, so don't expect updates soon. The first 181 (not kubelwagen 1/9) on a SRB chassis with offroad look ?

X-L-ent , great job
Bigwheels Inc, the 181 was the military version, 182 was civilian. Either way, both versions need slamming! My real 181 was ex-Nato and was lowered so the chassis was about 1.5 inches off the ground. Not practical, but way too cool
the military version is not really my target...
Awesome project! Great idea, nothing easy to do. Love it!!
Great build, can't wait to see the finished result.
if your going to do it flat yellow why not build a 182 (military version) only slight diffrences but would make it unique
or a gurgel X12 ?
or a Doka Syncro ?
Difficult to make a schwimmwagen, it's much rounder than this one. Maybe a Iltis ?
Looks awesome, can't wait to see it finished. I would fall over if you were to try a 128/166 (schwimmwagen) after you've mastered this one!
Really cool project! I'm a huge VW fan. I can't wait to see more progress as you have time to work on it!
Awesome, i have a styrene scratch-built body here i started a few years ago, took dimensions off the real 181 i owned back then. Really need to get it finished, just needs the arches making and then general finishing on the main body.
¡Menudo trabajo tío! Excellent work. I'll look forward for the final model.
Loving your work, I'll be following this wit lots of interest..
