100% Kubelwagen

Recommended Posts

Acomplete overhaul of the Kubelwagen using every available node in a 3DZ model . Full 3D figures, headlights, windshield, backlights, folded top cover, spare wheel and proper seats and VW dashboard. An alternative skinned version with raised windscreen and mirrors is under devellopment.

This is version 2, still using the previous texture, but I have a set of photographs of a slightly different (earlier? says 1942) model which I might be able to overlay on the texture. If it proofs undoable I might use a camouflage overlay instead.

Looks pretty good, VB.  When attending the Audrain Museum's Concours d'Elegance in Newport, RI yesterday, I saw its modern re-make, a VW "Thing".

"Thing" (US name) was VW Type 181, and apparently originally made for use by the post-war German Bundeswehr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_181

A version with convertible top deployed might save some time/resources, and might be more appropriate in winter/rainy scenarios.  I like the detail you have provided, though.

Nice work, and much appreciated!.

      A new control tower for my Suez addon derived from the one in the Habbiya area. Sofar this is just a mock up for testing and if all goes well it will end up looking like the B/W photo on the right.

      Okay here's the first release of it.
      I forgot to mention in the readme that its hooked for direct input and has a virtual joystick.
      That will allow you to configure the game flight controls to keyboard and cam to mouse.
      (I don't think the virtual Joystick if selected in game will work) Its best to stay with keyboard until you get a physical joystick.

      Thx to Erik and Stratos a special EAWPRO club was erected where further devellopment of my work can take place without unnecessary interruptions. Anyone is welcome to read it's contents which remains uncensored, but discussions are limited to members only and admittance to the club is exclusively under my control. Ofcourse crticism about EAWPRO can still be posted in the General EAW forum and when possible will be taken to heart. I'm sorry that there is no other way to present my work but it will not hamper further devellopment in any way.
      You can find the club through the forum's main page or by selecting CLUBS in the top from any page in the CA forum or by clicking the picture below:

      8 hours to unravel it's R/S secrets and 8 more to tweak the model into a light fleet/escort cariier. From here the model can be turned into any carrier class or split up into a multipart model. As a single 3DZ it can be a moving interdiction target (not landable) as well as a static target in harbours or alongside the coast. This is just a start as the model will be turned into a 100% model and It's texture will be upgraded soon.

      This picture shows the R/S check of a beached carrier with a few additions already :) The model will be added to PTIV as the new EAWPRO exe has freed a slot for an extra ship.

      The Reichenberg was the first and last plane I created in 2010, but with some recently acquired knowledge I felt the model should benefit from it, hence II. The initial model had it's cockpit more integrated into the fuselage but pictures show it was more of a small cubicle on top of the body. The old version also only used 6 sides and now 10. It may be further improved someday but for now this is where it stands. Weapons wil be added later too.
      As usual a rock solid R/S, new skin, semi 3D pilot (as in the Ohka) and dashboard (not visible yet in this picture but it's already there).
