Voyager Model PE35220 WWII German Schwimmwagan Type 166 for TAMIYA 35224 1/35

Voyager Model PE35220 is a high-quality detail-up set intended for the TAMIYA 35224 plastic model depicting the German amphibious military vehicle Schwimmwagen Type 166 in 1/35 scale. This set is aimed at demanding modelers who wish to enhance the realism and level of detail of their model and replicate even the smallest details of the original from the World War II era. The Schwimmwagen Type 166 was introduced into Wehrmacht service between 1942 and 1945 and was most commonly used by reconnaissance units and landing troops on all World War II battlefronts.

The Schwimmwagen Type 166, manufactured by the German company Volkswagen, was the most widely produced amphibious car of World War II. These vehicles performed exceptionally well during river crossings and in harsh terrain conditions—they were used on the Eastern and Western Fronts as well as in North Africa. The 1/35 scale models faithfully capture the original’s proportions, while the Voyager Model PE35220 set introduces a range of upgrades that make the finished diorama look exceptionally realistic.

The set includes precisely cut photo-etched (PE) parts made from high-quality brass. These enable accurate replication of small details such as shovel mounts, clamps, latches, ventilation grilles, handles, straps, and both interior and exterior fittings. This addition significantly enhances the final effect of the model, efficiently replacing the less accurate plastic parts supplied in the factory TAMIYA 35224 kit.
