Retro Kommandeurwagen build - Tamiya 32553 - 1/48 German Steyr Type 1500A Command Car Military Model Kit  [32553]

Tamiya Kommandeurwagen in 1/48 scale

This Tamiya 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A Kommandeurwagen model recreates a compact command car used during the war era. It is aimed at kit builders who want a finely detailed small-scale piece for cabinet display or diorama work.

Service use and vehicle traits

The full-size Steyr Type 1500A was used in staff roles and adapted from a light truck, offering a roomy cabin and modifications for officer comfort. Its engine and chassis made it suitable for varied terrain and quick redeployment.

What to expect when building

The kit provides realistic clear parts for the windows, choices for the canvas top, and moveable door options to customise the final pose. The die-cast chassis gives extra weight and stability, and the included figures help complete a credible display scene.
