Compact Simca 5 history and modelling with Tamiya

Originally a Fiat design from 1936, the Simca 5 earned a reputation as a small, economical car suited to crowded streets and wartime needs. Its role in Europe mirrored other influential compact cars, and many were taken into German Army use as staff vehicles for communications and light transport. By 1946 production topped 46,000, marking the model as a noteworthy wartime civilian car adapted for military duty.

The Tamiya 35321 kit recreates the Simca 5 in 1/35 scale with a focus on authentic detail. Model makers will appreciate realistic suspension elements, optional open or shut door positions, and a German Army driver figure for added display realism. The sprues are organised for clean assembly and accurate finishing that suits both display and diorama use.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 94mm

This kit suits intermediate builders who have experience with small parts and precision painting. Novices can complete it with patience and basic modelling supplies.
The kit includes three decal options reflecting German Army markings of the era. Decals are printed for fine detail; use a decal setting solution for best results on curved surfaces.
Masking tiny trim and using metallic paints in thin layers helps retain detail. Consider painting chrome areas separately before attaching to avoid brush damage to adjacent panels.
