Used to represent the armoured staff cars and light cars reported by several Volkssturm units. 

In service with the Galtow Volkssturm...

Neat.

I like the way you have replicated the corrugated pattern on the extension to make it a van body.

Nice!

Reminds me of the Type 82/3 dummy tank used for exercises prior to the war...



From Tank Encyclopaedia;
“Type 82/3: Mock-up armoured and armed vehicle/command car”

Weirdwwii site lists your style without the side fairings as the Type 82/3 as well, being mockups they probably varied.

Cheers!

Don't think they used the Type82 Kubelwagen pre-war... they didn't make it till 1940.
