Expected February/March 2026

Tamiya's 1/35 scale recreation of the legendary Schwimmwagen Type 166 captures this iconic WWII amphibious vehicle with meticulous detail. Derived from Volkswagen Kübelwagen components, this German marvel combined exceptional off-road performance with full waterborne capability through its innovative rear-mounted engine, lightweight hull, and deployable propeller system.

Originally engineered for reconnaissance and liaison missions, the Type 166 excelled across the Eastern Front's challenging terrain, rivers, marshes, and coastal zones, thanks to its selectable four-wheel drive and compact, reliable design. As history's most mass-produced amphibious vehicle, it remains a cornerstone subject for serious modellers and WWII enthusiasts.
