German Steyr Kommandeurwagen (1/35) 35235
This 1/35 scale Tamiya model kit depicts the German Steyr Kommandeurwagen, a command vehicle based on the Steyr 1500A/01 military transport. Produced under the 1940 “Schell Programme” vehicle standardisation, the Kommandeurwagen was designed to provide comfort and mobility for high-ranking officers during WWII. Built on the same chassis as the 1500A truck, it featured an 8-cylinder, 85hp petrol engine, a four-speed gearbox with reverse, torsion bar front suspension, and leaf spring rear suspension, capable of reaching speeds up to 100km/h on roads.
- Highly detailed exterior and interior with leather-upholstered seat detail.
- Includes accurate dashboard, seating layout, and functional command vehicle features.
- Choice of open or closed soft-top roof configuration.
- Detailed chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components.
- Suitable for diorama settings in both European and North African theatres.
Used from Russia to North Africa, the Steyr Kommandeurwagen provided swift and comfortable transport for the German army’s elite commanders. Its reduced five-passenger layout and reclining front seat made it a practical and reliable choice for long-distance operations.
