This new detail set from Griffon Model Accessories includes over 40 parts to detail up the 1/48 Tamiya Pkw. K1 Kubelwagen Type 82, which is an excellent kit for your next WW2 Luftwaffe diorama.  

This is a very comprehensive set that includes the following.  Windshield wipers, windshield frame and acetate piece for the windshield, dash with acetate speedometer (that gets sandwiched between photo etch parts), foot pedals (all separate and designed to come from the floor like the real vehicle), licence plate holder, door handles, mirrors, steering wheel center, straps for the shovel and many many other parts.  

If you buy this set, you will be blown away by the level of detail you'll be able to add to this tiny WW2 German vehicler.

The instructions are helpful and easy to follow and are included on 2 pages.  This set will require a bit of effort due to the large number of tiny parts, but the finished results will be very impressive. 

I'm stunned by the level of detail this set permits.....amazing!!!  Detailing up this little vehicle using this set will really add to a diorama.
