Always wanted a triple camo kubel, so here you go I'm replacing all my light grey cobi models, difference with my older grey moc is; -Made bigger doors, the old ones were too small -shorter nose by 1 stud, the old one was too long -different rear structure, because of bigger block fenders I was looking for the hard to get tan fenders from the older set 2374, which i found on the bouwsteentjesplezier.nl site ( where they still have 11 of them....), but found the price of 9,95 per set ( you need 2 sets, because one set includes only 2 fenders) too expensive 2 sets including s/h would be some 27 euro's for only 4 fenders i needed So i went for a cheap aliexpress alternative, the imitation lego ford mustang, for only 6,50 euro incl s/h The green color is a bit darker than Cobi's, but doesn't really looks off Nice thing about these fenders is that they are running much lower which looks more like the real deal Here's the ali stang i used for the fenders;

Nice work, shorter nose looks good! Back then when I realized that only one set has the tan fenders, I bought 3 of it, but haven't used them so far (Horch sitting in some box still unfinished). But what an ingenious idea to scrap a Lego clone from Ali Express for parts

Thanks, glad you like it Caracho!
Still curious how your Horch will look like.....
Talking about Horch's, i'm working on a camo one too( still have a couple of green scrapped Jeeps lying around)with some better alterations
About fenders, still strange cobi hasn't used those more often, or designed a better one Still waiting for middle sized fenders to come out by cobi ( between the size mentioned above and the "Blitz" fenders, because i still want to make some prime movers ( sd kfz 10 to name one)
