About product

Tamiya Schwimmwagen Type 166, 1:48 (plastic kit)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German Schwimmwagen Type 166 light amphibious vehicle in 1:48 scale from the Tamiya Military Miniature range. The model offers a well worked out interior including the dashboard and the seats and clear parts for the glazing. The propeller that drives the vehicle in the water can be assembled in the stowed or in the lowered position. Decals for two different color schemes are in the box.

The real subject

The Schwimmwagen Type 166 was a German light amphibious cross-country vehicle of the Second World War period, technically related to the VW concept and derived from the Kübelwagen. Thanks to all-wheel drive and a swing-down propeller it could cross water obstacles as well. Reconnaissance, signals and engineer units used it for moving through difficult terrain.

Building and painting tips

First assemble and paint the interior and the lower part of the body before the body is closed up, because once it is glued there is no access to those details. It is a good idea to spray the body with an airbrush, to bring out the panel lines with a wash and to finish the surface with dust and mud pigments for faithful weathering of a cross-country vehicle. Separate the small parts with a sharp knife and glue them with liquid cement for plastic.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of German military vehicles of the Second World War in 1:48 scale
  • For modelers who appreciate the small format and a quicker build than in 1:35
  • For lovers of weathering and dioramas with cross-country and amphibious vehicles
  • For more advanced beginners and experienced builders alike

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
