Tamiya finally gets around to replacing one of the oldest kits in the 1/35 MM series, the Schwimmwagen--and this release, like the Jeep before it, proves that big things can come in small packages.
The number of fine details on this kit that are just perfectly formed are too many to count. Everywhere you look, tiny little details are crisply molded onto very thin parts--just beautiful work.
Comes with a figure and complete engine and suspension detail. Engine bay hood can be mounted open or closed, and the propeller assembly on the rear can also be mounted in the raised (land) or lowered (sea) position. Markings are included for three different units.
