The wide wheel version included wide tires and added equipment such as MG35 machine gun and two figures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the German Schwimmwagen Type 166 (Wide Wheel Version)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCriss-crossed by rivers and dotted with wetlands, European geography poses significant military challenges and led the German Wehrmacht to develop the Schwimmwagen, an amphibious vehicle based upon the Ferdinand Porsche-designed Kubelwagen. With a 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of 25hp, the Schwimmwagen featured the 80km\/h top speed on ground. The rear three-bladed screw propeller was lowered manually using a rod and provided water speed up to 10km\/h. While paucity of materials meant many Schwimmwagen used 133mm tires, those with wider 200mm tires enjoyed superior off-road performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 mt-md-2 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mx-auto mb-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"landing-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"featureListDiv\" class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44004664377478,"sku":"TAM35393","price":37.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1568\/7663\/files\/showimg-2026-05-22T122525.570.jpg?v=1779477935","url":"https:\/\/www.islandtoys.ca\/products\/1-35-schwimmwagen-type-166-wide-wheel-version-plastic-model","provider":"Island Toys \u0026 Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
