Tamiya 35393
About the Model
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 113mm, width: 42mm. ★Features an integrated slide molded recreation of the boat shaped underside, for realism and a rewarding assembly process. ★ Realistic depictions of the suspension and engine. ★200 mm wide tires are multi-part recreations, adding even more detail to your model. ★Parts are included to recreate MG34 machine guns and their holders, a folded down windshield with canvas cover, Kar98k rifle and Panzerfaust anti-tank weapon. ★Comes with driver and tanker officer figures.
The trusty Schwimmwagen served WWII German forces with distinction, taking on tricky off-road surfaces and even water obstacles in style. It had a welded sheet metal monocoque body and a 1,130 cc, 25 hp air-cooled 4-cylinder engine that it could get 80 km/h out of on land, and 10 km/h in the water. When fitted with wide wheels, it was even more capable off-road, and some Schwimmwagens even had MG34 machine guns. Between the end of 1942 and Fall 1944, some 14,000 Schwimmwagens rolled off the production lines, and they were sent to a variety of locations with a range of briefs, from pioneer units to Fallschirmjager paratroopers. Its superlative adaptability made it a vital cog in the German war effort.
