I'm not too up to speed on softskins, but is that a schwere Einheits-Pkw?

schwere Einheits-Pkw

As in "heavy cross-country standard-passenger car" ... with a spare on either side, and the shape of the front end, then I suppose it is... built by Horch Ford Germany, if I can believe Wikipedia

The Einheits-Pkw ("Universal passenger car") was a basic design that came in light and heavy variants. They were built by multiple factories to the same overall requirements, but the actual vehicles differed in all their particulars — kind of like the American 2.5-ton trucks, or Canadian Military Pattern trucks and lorries. I brought it up because I think this is one of them, made by Horch obviously.

And 4wd!

I built this Tamiya 1/35th Horch many years ago while in medical recovery. I was in no position to mask windows or paint anything. I pulled a bunch of random lots out of my stash back then and assembled them in the pain-free times. What a release it was.
Someday I may disassemble and paint them. But I doubt it. They serve as momentos.

Love the Horch. Keep the build progress going.
