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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic with die-cast chassis
  • Features: Openable doors, optional canvas top, clear parts for windows
  • Figures: Includes driver and commander figures

Yes, the kit includes parts and options to assemble the canvas top up or folded down. Dry-fit the canvas section first to choose the best look for your display.
Three marking schemes are supplied, allowing you to finish the model in different historical liveries. Apply decals over a gloss coat for best results.
Out of the box the kit is well detailed, but modellers often add wiring, antennas or weathering to enhance realism depending on the diorama or shelf presentation.
