Tamiya Schwimmwagen Type166 1/35


Recommended Posts

A small but perfectly formed kit from Tamiya with lots of detail including fine mesh for the engine air intakes. The build was straightforward with no issues.

Nicely done. I've not actually seen one built before! (Well, I've been away for nearly 4 decades!)

Now, the spare wheel. Logical. Correct. But it LOOKS odd. I'd muddy-up the spare wheel as well. Yes, I KNOW it isn't rolling on muddy ground, BUT if it had a punctured tyre it would be where it is now, on the bonnet, and the nice shiny replacement would be rolling through the dirt.

... and then you could have fun explaining that to all those pedants who questioned it! :winkgrin:

Badder.

You're right, the spare does look out of place, too clean even if it's never been used. It'll be back on the workbench for remedial action!
