Schwimmwagen Type 166 — German Amphibious Military Vehicle

The Schwimmwagen Type 166 was a German amphibious military vehicle developed during the Second World War to provide highly mobile transportation across both land and water. Based on the Volkswagen Kübelwagen chassis, it featured a lightweight body, four-wheel drive, and a retractable propeller, making it one of the most capable amphibious vehicles of its time.

Designed to operate in a wide variety of environments, the Schwimmwagen combined excellent cross-country performance with the ability to traverse rivers, lakes, and other water obstacles without external assistance. Its compact size and mechanical simplicity contributed to its outstanding reliability in military service.

More than 14,000 vehicles were produced between 1942 and 1944, serving on every major front of the war. Throughout its production and operational life, the Schwimmwagen was equipped with several historically documented wheel and tire combinations supplied by different manufacturers, reflecting both production changes and logistical requirements.

Recognized for its distinctive appearance and innovative engineering, the Schwimmwagen Type 166 remains one of the most iconic military vehicles of the Second World War and continues to be a popular subject among military vehicle enthusiasts and scale modelers.

Wheel installation

The wheels fit directly onto the standard mounting points of the Italeri, Tamiya, AFV club kits without modification.
We recommend lightly sanding the support contact areas with fine-grit sandpaper for best results.
