【Amphibious】 Along with the suspension and engine, the 200mm wide wheels are newly featured as parts! The 1/35 Schwimmwagen Type 166 is here, bundled with accessories like the Panzerfaust and figures of a driver and tank officer!

Any military model enthusiast has likely held a “Schwimmwagen Type 166” at least once. Its greatest charm is undoubtedly the unique “amphibious” structure, so unlike typical military vehicles. This time, we have the “Wide Wheel Version” as a new variation, which is enough to make any heart race. The three-dimensionally reproduced suspension and meticulous engine details are finished with such craftsmanship that it feels less like a model and more like a “miniature real vehicle.”

The 200mm wide wheels are the standout feature. This addition alone dramatically changes the overall impression. It adds a sense of weight suggesting high off-road performance, and a design that visually communicates grip—perfect for any hobbyist. Adding such realistic gimmicks to an already rugged and practical body makes it look stunning on display and ensures an overwhelming presence in any diorama. It’s a small detail, but “width” in a model is more important than one might imagine.

While the vehicle alone is highly satisfying, the addition of weapon parts like the MG34 machine gun and Panzerfaust, along with accessories such as a covered windshield, is a welcome bonus. These allow for the recreation of various scenes, from combat to transport. The MG34, in particular, is sculpted so sharply that its precision is mesmerizing. These accessories are the soul of this kit, allowing you to imbue your work with a “story” that goes beyond a mere vehicle model.

Even better is the inclusion of the driver and tank officer figures. These two figures breathe “motion” and “atmosphere” into a static model. Their expressions and poses are carefully crafted with such realism it feels like a moment frozen in time. When the figures and vehicle unite, the sense of immersion deepens, doubling the fun of assembly. It’s a chance to truly experience a world of models that are “alive, even though they don't move.”

The 1/35 Schwimmwagen Type 166 (Wide Wheel Version) is more than a mere scale model; it’s a masterpiece packed with history, technology, and the joy of shaping one's imagination. As you assemble it, you feel the high level of technology from that era and the creator's passion to reproduce it faithfully. Above all, the greatest strength of this kit is the heartfelt satisfaction of its completion. It is a piece I recommend to both beginners taking their first step into military modeling and deep-seated enthusiasts. This is not just a model—it is a small piece of romance where history and a playful spirit collide.
