Trabant Kübel & Trabant 1.1

Description
Today I present you a small mod for Trabant enthusiasts. It includes Trabant 1.1 and Trabant Kübelwagen/Tramp.
Both cars are modified variants of the vanilla Trabant model.

Info on Trabant Kübelwagen:
The military version of the Trabant P601. It was developed after the construction of the border wall between East and West Germany in 1961, as the East German borderguards now needed a suitable vehicle for their patroulling duties.
This car was suited for the job: The chassis of the Trabant is both lightweight and robust, so its offroad performance was actually pretty good. Also, it was easy to repair and cheap to manufacture.

Serial production of this vehicle lasted from 1966 to 1990 and it has the same stats as the Vanilla Trabant.
*UPDATE:* I made a variant without the East German Logo on it available. Also, I added Trabant Tramp (civilian Kübel, mainly for export) in these colors:
-White
-Light blue
-Yellow

Info on Trabant 1.1:
Here, we have the modernised version of the Trabant P601, after it was in serial production for 26 years without any successful modernization efforts. Especially the two-stroke engine was considered to be extremely outdated in the later production years.
So finally, after many attempts of updating the car to modern standards (which were mostly blocked by the East German government), the Trabant 1.1 went into production in 1990, featuring a modern 4-stroke engine (originally designed by Volkswagen) alongside many reworked components. This was a huge improvement over the P601, although the obselete 1960s-style exterior of the car was not updated.
Still, its success was very limited: East German cars suffered from a bad reputation in 1990, when it was already possible to buy Western cars within the Eastern Bloc.

During 1990 and 1991, 39474 vehicles were produced.
In-game stats:
-Top-speed: 110 km/h
-Engine power: 30 kW
-Capacity: 4 seats
Available as sedan or station wagon in these colors:
-White
-Light blue
-Lime
-Grey
-Orange
-Yellow

Dem Genossen koenich wird viel Erfolg beim Einsatz der von unseren Betrieben produzierten Wehrtechnik zur Grenzsicherung gewünscht!

Der Trabant Kübel, welcher in Kürze in den Kompanien und Brigaden eingeführt wird, wird einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Steigerung der Bereitschaft der Grenztruppen der Nationalen Volksarmee leisten und somit zur Sicherung des Friedens an den Grenzen unserer Volksrepublik beitragen.

Hiermit wird dem Genossen Natronlauge Dank ausgesprochen für seinen Einsatz zur Sicherung der Grenzen unserer Republik.

@domisID Thanks for your suggestion, but this is currently not planned. Modelling and texturing the interior would take a lot of time and effort, and I want to focus on other projects soon.

@Stapelbernd Gerne! :D

@Halopro895 Thanks for the feedback! I like your suggestions and I will add them to this mod very soon! :)

will you add a version of the Kübelwagen without the cover, so as a open top Kübelwagen as used for parades and the alike?
