This product is dedicated to modelers who wish to achieve the highest level of detail accuracy in their plastic model of this famous German amphibious vehicle from World War II. The Schwimmwagen Type 166 was widely used by the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS on all fronts—from the Eastern Front, through Africa, to Normandy. Its period of greatest service was from 1942 to 1945, the most turbulent years of World War II.

The Aber 48015 set contains high-quality photo-etched brass components that replace or enhance the standard plastic parts of models available in this scale.
