Tamiya 35321 - 1/35 Simca 5 Staff Car kit, period German staff vehicle  [35321]

History and scale modelling of the Simca 5 with Tamiya

The Simca 5 began as a Fiat compact introduced in 1936, valued for its low cost and practicality. It gained prominence across prewar and wartime Europe, often serving roles similar to other small utility cars of the era. During the conflict, many examples were requisitioned for use by the German Army as staff transport and liaison vehicles. Total output reached over 46,000 units by 1946, underscoring its widespread use.

Tamiya's 35321 kit captures the Simca 5 in 1/35 scale with precise moulding and assembly options. The set provides detailed suspension components, configurable door positions, and a German Army driver figure to enhance realism on the finished model. Parts are arranged to streamline the build and produce a clean, accurate result for shelf or diorama presentation.
