Voyager Model PR35085 WWII German Kubelwagen Type 82 Africa Troop Special Balloon Tires Patten 2 1/35

Voyager Model PR35085 is a high-quality set of Pattern 2 desert balloon tires, perfectly matched to the German Kübelwagen Type 82 vehicle in 1/35 scale. This product was designed to recreate the authentic equipment of vehicles used by Afrika Korps units during the most intense operations of World War II in North Africa (years 1941–1943). Balloon-type tires are characterized by a wide surface and deep tread, which significantly improved the vehicle’s driving performance in loose desert sand, minimizing the risk of the vehicle getting stuck and providing greater mobility in Libya and Tunisia.
