Product Description
This model assembly kit recreates the wide wheel version of the German Schwimmwagen in 1/35 scale. It compliments Tamiya’s popular German Schwimmwagen (item 35224) kit as it adds a variant version. The wide wheel version included wide tires and added equipment such as MG35 machine gun and two new figures.
About the German Schwimmwagen Type 166 (Wide Wheel Version)
Criss-crossed by rivers and dotted with wetlands, European geography poses significant military challenges and led the German Wehrmacht to develop the Schwimmwagen, an amphibious vehicle based upon the Ferdinand Porsche-designed Kübelwagen. With a 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of 25hp, the Schwimmwagen featured the 80km/h top speed on ground. The rear three-bladed screw propeller was lowered manually using a rod and provided water speed up to 10km/h. While paucity of materials meant many Schwimmwagen used 133mm tires, those with wider 200mm tires enjoyed superior off-road performance.
• 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 113mm, width: 42mm.
• Features realistic depictions of suspension and 4-cylinder gasoline engine.
• Newly molded C parts realistically recreate the following features: 200mm wide tires (Tires are split into pieces to recreate tire patterns.), wheels, MG34 machine gun, Panzerfaust 30 (anti-tank weapon) and Kar.98k rifle fixed to crossbar, windshield with or without cover, and other equipment.
