1/35 SCALE GERMAN SCHWIMMWAGEN TYPE 166 (WIDE WHEEL VERSION)
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.
With its watertight hull-shaped body and 200 mm wheels, the Schwimmwagen was highly capable on land and sea.

The three-bladed rear screw is recreated with accuracy. It can be repositioned after completion of the model.

The compact 4-person interior is rendered in style. Choose covered or uncovered windshield, and whether to place small arms in the cross bar behind the front seat.

Separate parts are used for hull-side shovel, oar and more. Assembling the model with the rear hood open lets you admire the 4-cylinder engine within.

Driver and tanker figures add further life to the model.
