WWII German Steyr Type 1500A/01
Manufacture Product Number : TAM-32549 Prior to the start of World War II, the German army used a variety of vehicles in preparation for their mobile Blitzkrieg tactics. However, the “Schell" Program of 1940 called for a standardization of vehicles for more efficient production, and one of the vehicles chosen for use was the Austrian Steyr 1500A/01. With its air-cooled 3.5 liter V8 engine and 4WD, the vehicle proved to be rugged and reliable and was produced as a light truck, soft top infantry carrier, and staff car. Its versatility made it a useful transport vehicle on all battle fronts.Tanks may be the stars of the battlefield, but the “soft" vehicles supporting the front lines play an equally important role. With the release of the 1/48 scale Steyr Type 1500A/01, Tamiya gives modelers another interesting subject to add to their World War II armor and aircraft dioramas. Distinctive shape of the engine hood and features such as the side mounted spare tire accurately reproduced. Front doors may be modeled in both open and closed positions for increased display possibilities. Die-cast chassis provides added weight that gives the model greater realism. Driver figure and 3 types of high-quality markings are also included. A great display in and of itself, it is also perfect for dioramas with other Tamiya 1/48 scale vehicles, aircraft, figure sets, and accessory sets. |
