Tamiya 35224 Special edition 1/35 Schwimmwagen Type 166 - amphibious model kit  [35224]

Hands-on Look at the Schwimmwagen Type 166 Kit

The Tamiya 35224 1/35 kit recreates the German Schwimmwagen Type 166 for modellers who value historical detail. Derived from the Volkswagen concept, this vehicle was built for reconnaissance and mixed-surface travel.

Design Traits and What Comes in the Box

The model reproduces hallmark details like the raised exhaust and the rear-mounted air-cooled engine. In service the Schwimmwagen could reach about 80 km/h on land and 10 km/h on water. The kit includes finely moulded plastic parts, a driver figure and waterslide decals to complete a realistic miniature.
