I thought the USAF was classier than that.
For such a clap-trap POS this car sure gets a lot of love. This car gives ugly girls hope.

Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 73 at Laage AFB gave the 29+13 registration to a Trabant. Just superstition? A Follow-Me car? At least, you can´t miss the vehicle´s “chemtrail”.:slightly_smiling_face:

Trabant outside was made of a composite material called Duroplast. So be very careful if you want to weather the model. NO rust.

Any chance you have a Trabi 601 Kubelwagen planned?

That depends mainly on popularity and sales of this one. We’d love to release more variants, but the reception from the public is the main argument.

Another cool, but not yet done GDR car. The Geländewagen P3. This was the East German Munga.
