@Kas Kas, had an opportunity to look at the Meng Type 82 Kubelwagen & Quinta decal for the the Italeri Type 82 Kubelwagen. I’m not up to speed on Kubelwagen production or changes production.
The Meng kit I have has this type of dash.
The Quinta Italeri decal is like the following.
So they ARE NOT a plug & play match. I’m not up on Kubelwagen enough to know the nuances of when or who used which dash.
I’ll probably use plastic card and slap the Quinta dash in the Meng kit. I wouldn’t suggest that course of action without research for anyone else if serious accuracy is important to the modeler. It isn’t to me for a Kubelwagen but it would be on other projects.
I don’t think the Quinta 3D decal wooden slats are of much value for the Meng kit.
I felt like it was worth the dice 
roll to look at the two products.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for having a look at this so quickly! This is not a vehicle that I know a great deal about either but I do fancy one and still think with a little work the Quinta set can be made to generally work ok. It looks like the North African kit has the early type dash whilst the Eastern front version has the later type.
This is very useful.

I love the BRDM-1 - one of my favourite vehicles.
A million years ago I procured the ancient Roskopf 1:100 version; picture below off eBay:
Around 40 years later I got hold of this one:
which eventually turned into this:
Not meant as a hijack, merely to reinforce my enthusiasm!
I look forward to see what you do with the Trumpeter version.

A NVA vehicle of course! I also tinker with the idea of a “Hot Rod” with spoiler and slicks. Not to forget a MIG Bort number!

Now that I want to see!
I have the Trumpeter BRDM-1 in the stash near the top of the pile but the BRDM-2 doesn’t interest me so probably won’t get one.
Need to look for schemes to do the BRDM-1 in.

Added a couple BIG boys.
First two modern artillery pieces. Just in the box the Panzerhaubitze 2000 is huge! Andy’s had them for a ridiculously good price, $54 a piece which after his saint patricks day deal came out to $109 shipped! Everywhere else had them for $150-170 before shipping

i’ve kinda wanted to do an auf1 for awhile. Maybe you should start a build thread on it later today so I can enjoy it vicariously?
