That's a 1:16 scale model, which is about 2.5 times smaller than the 1:6 
scale that we use for battling.  If you want to start by building a 
supply vehicle, one of the cheapest ways is to start with a 1:6 scale 
plastic vehicle from a toy store that is un-motorized.   In fact, you 
can probably find a 1:6 scale KUBELWAGEN at Toys 'R Us or Walmart.  I 
think they are made by 20th Century Soldiers, which is a GI Joe-like 
line of soldiers and equipment in 1:6 scale.
