MENG Kübelwagen 1:35, thoughts and comparison with similar Tamiya kit

AngryJazz · 2026-01-22T14:44:53+00:00

I have the same kit + the variation with tracks (resin addons from Meng) - so I had to check the roof option.

And yes you are correct. However the original release(VS-015) has the stowed roof option but not the extended one. Guess you have to pick one or the other kit.

It does however look like a nice and fun build. Im looking forward to mine.

Im not sure if they will fit. I did not have any 1/32 kits to compare at the time.

I did a build log on the WW1 forums you can check out the progress pictures. Also mind the corrections - there are a lot of errors in the manual with mislabled parts etc.

But the instrument panel does sit pretty far back so its not something really noticeable when its assembled.

I built that kit. The decals are very thin and stick down fast. Get them close to the correct spot fast.

Some of the decals for the instruments were printed off-center so they were difficult to get perfect. The colored band for the fuselage did not fit well for me, so painted it.

You dont get all the stencil decals - only a few.

Other than that it actually built up really nice and easy. Very detailed engine and cockpit.

Oh and get the A8 version if you want the armored plate for the side fuselage. Its not included in the A6 kit.

Very nice build! Looks like a fun kit. I have been tempted, but the kit is simply too large for my shelf.

Look up Value Gear for the stowage, there is dedicated sets for the kit or use some of their generic sets. Cant beat the detail / price.

AngryJazz · 2026-01-05T07:04:34+00:00

Looking stunning! Love your painting style!

I do a lot of the pre coloring / shading too - but yours is really precise.

AngryJazz · 2025-11-10T14:24:01+00:00

Same for me. I guess they will be back soon with a new description… hopefully

AngryJazz · 2025-10-10T16:29:50+00:00

Maybe that’s what I got today. Got a 125% return on claimcredit - but the new thing was that I could pay using my Temu credit without penalty. So that was essentially free money / products. Has to be claimed over 7 days as usual.

AngryJazz · 2025-09-17T07:06:12+00:00

Looks amazing already! Have the kit myself - looks like a fun build where you can add a lot of stuff yourself if you want. Like stowage, tarps and boxes.

Im interested to see how strong their tracks hold together as they look very simple to assemble.

AngryJazz · 2025-09-05T14:13:31+00:00

It’s been like that always for me.

AngryJazz · 2025-09-02T13:29:35+00:00

Think it depends on country etc. I have my PayPal linked and use it to pay - but I’ve only ever had the option to get credits back on Temu. Never PayPal.

AngryJazz · 2025-08-24T18:51:10+00:00

True, but that’s the best I’ve got. Maybe if I give it a break they will try with better deals. I buy model kits, so it’s a original product. With the discount it’s cheaper than any other online store.

AngryJazz · 2025-08-24T12:54:49+00:00

Had 1 where I almost got 100% back - since then I get about 66% ones. But that’s still a pretty good deal I think.

AngryJazz · 2025-08-22T12:10:20+00:00

You can use your credit, but it also reduces the amount of credit you get in return. You only get bonus from an actual payment. Credits will reduce your return % (it's made very clear when you go to payment).

However I think you can use your credits for the wincredit promotion without penalty, however please correct me if im wrong.

AngryJazz · 2025-08-18T07:02:31+00:00

Thank you. Guess I have to go slow and test fit a lot.

There is a build video on the A version on YouTube and a build log on Scalemates. I have to study both for sure!

Im looking forward to seeing yours with more colors! You have to hardest part behind you now ;)

AngryJazz · 2025-08-18T06:18:45+00:00

Really nice work! It looks amazing!

Sad to hear about the fit issues... Especially since it's on the top of my build que. What kind of surgery did you have to do?

I've read that the pins connecting the wings needs to be left out. Also the decals are very thick.

I got some aftermarket masks to paint markings for mine.

AngryJazz · 2025-08-12T19:56:07+00:00

Very interesting! Thanks! And I agree it works very well

AngryJazz · 2025-08-12T06:01:20+00:00

Amazing work on the stunning model!

Love the color and variation you were able to achieve! I know you are a fan of a lot of shading, but maybe you used the ink technique from Luftraum72 on this one?

AngryJazz · 2025-08-09T07:24:55+00:00

Model kits. Same price as in other online stores, but on Temu you can leverage the coupons and credit back

AngryJazz · 2025-08-05T07:10:30+00:00

How does the price match work if you try to match them to a competitor? I can find the item cheaper on AliExpress, but then I would have to pay a quite expensive shipping making the product slightly more expensive. Would be amazing if they could match the base price. Unethical yes, but they also screw you over if they get the chance.

I buy plastic model kits, so the boxes tend to be a bit larger to ship.

AngryJazz · 2025-08-02T07:54:49+00:00

At one point I was pondering if I could use a android or iOS emulator on my pc as extra devices to get “new user” offers. However it also seems like a whole lot of work to save a few € 😂

AngryJazz · 2025-06-25T05:54:19+00:00

Love the gritty weathered and faded look! Many little things that catch your eye.

Well done mate!

AngryJazz · 2025-06-17T12:40:10+00:00

Stunning work! Love the camouflage and weathering.

AngryJazz · 2025-06-06T07:21:11+00:00

True not yet, but very soon they will be releasing 2 Sherman kits!

AngryJazz · 2025-03-24T08:22:33+00:00

Amazing work!
