It compliments Tamiya’s popular German Schwimmwagen (item 35224) kit as it adds a variant version. The wide wheel version included wide tires and added equipment such as MG35 machine gun and two new figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCriss-crossed by rivers and dotted with wetlands, European geography poses significant military challenges and led the German Wehrmacht to develop the Schwimmwagen, an amphibious vehicle based upon the Ferdinand Porsche-designed Kübelwagen. With a 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of 25hp, the Schwimmwagen featured the 80km\/h top speed on ground. The rear three-bladed screw propeller was lowered manually using a rod and provided water speed up to 10km\/h. While paucity of materials meant many Schwimmwagen used 133mm tires, those with wider 200mm tires enjoyed superior off-road performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 113mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 42mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures realistic depictions of suspension and 4-cylinder gasoline engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly molded C parts realistically recreate the following features: 200mm wide tires (Tires are split into pieces to recreate tire patterns.), wheels, MG34 machine gun, Panzerfaust 30 (anti-tank weapon) and Kar.98k rifle fixed to crossbar, windshield with or without cover, and other equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition canteens and helmet as you wish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo new figures (one driver and one officer) are included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecals depict four German Army and two German Air Force number plates, and badges of cap, sleeve and collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669677367509,"sku":"TAM35393","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/tamiya-35393-1-35-german-schwimmwagen-type-166-wide-wheel-version-model-kit.jpg?v=1776174698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/tamiya-35393-1-35-german-schwimmwagen-type-166-wide-wheel-version-model-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
