Schwimmwagen Type 166 Wide Wheel Version (Tamiya, 1:35)
The Schwimmwagen is the new 2026 version of the Tamiya kit and they provided me with this model to build it for the release. Additionally, I added some photo-etched parts and designed my own components as 3D models. These are available on my Patreon page. As for the paint scheme, I went with the simple dunkelgelb approach, still one of my favorite colors. I wanted to keep the weathering a bit more toned down and realistic. The figures I included are from Alpine Miniatures and you can see them in closer detail in my Miniatures portfolio. This model also has it’s own series over on YouTube.
