Snapshot: Tamiya 1/48 Schwimmwagen Type 166 model

The Tamiya 1/48 Schwimmwagen Type 166 brings a compact wartime amphibian to the modeller's bench. This kit is designed to reproduce the Schwimmwagen's characteristic shape and functional elements in a small footprint, making it great for collectors who focus on military transport and reconnaissance vehicles.

Historic mechanics in small scale

The prototype used a modest 25hp air-cooled engine and a screw propeller to move through water as well as rough terrain. This model mirrors those engineering highlights, giving builders a chance to show the dual land and water character in a display model.

Model Features and Assembly Insights

At 1/48 scale this Tamiya kit measures about 82mm long and 29mm wide when assembled. It includes interior details such as a dashboard and seats, clear window parts, and a screw propeller that can be mounted up or down to vary the look. Two decal choices are provided for marking the finished build.
