I started doing this to see if I could get the mojo back, so partly constructed, basic Vallejo Dunkelgrau primer done, and then checking things while putting it all together.
That's when I realised I should have spent a bit more time before starting and checked a few things.
1. I have Aber and Eduard PE, some of which I will use, some I won't.
2. The original idea was early war, preferably France or West Russia, so before they started the camouflage stage.
That's where it started to go wrong.
3. Won't now be in the Tauchpanzer diorama.

Tamiya has modeled a Kubelwagen with strengthening bars between the front and also the rear tow hooks - that came in in January '43.
Any made after February '43 had the wing mirrors etc altered, so, I have a vehicle made approx January '43, so I cannot place it earlier in the war.
A = front strengthening bar, B = incorrect door handles, C = rear strengthening bar.
From there I also found out ( no real surprise ) that Eduard had supplied the wrong shape of door handles for ''any'' Kubelwagen.
So, I am now at the following stage of construction, replacing the handles I used from Eduard with the ones from Aber.
