Tamiya 32549 - 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A/01 Retro Support Vehicle Kit  [32549]

Snapshot of the Tamiya 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A/01

Small support vehicles add narrative to larger battle scenes and supply columns. The Tamiya 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A/01 is designed to represent those roles faithfully at a modest scale, letting modellers populate displays with realistic period transport.

Design background and battlefield use

Chosen under prewar standardisation plans, the Steyr 1500A/01 featured an air-cooled 3.5 litre V8 and robust 4WD, qualities that made it suitable as a light truck, staff car and personnel carrier in varied conditions.

Assembly highlights and presentation tips

This Tamiya kit reproduces the vehicle lines with crisp moulding and offers poseable front doors for different display moods. The die-cast chassis adds scale weight, and the included driver figure plus three marking schemes let builders create a finished vignette quickly.
