Hasegawa MT13 Schwimmwagen / Kettenkrad 1/72 – plastic scale model kit

The Hasegawa MT13 Schwimmwagen / Kettenkrad 1/72 scale model kit is a great option for enthusiasts of German military engineering from World War II. This model is a unique set featuring two iconic Wehrmacht vehicles – the amphibious Volkswagen Type 166 Schwimmwagen and the NSU Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad half-track motorcycle. Both vehicles played a significant role in numerous frontline campaigns, standing out for their innovation and versatile use in challenging combat conditions.

Schwimmwagen Type 166 was a universal 4x4 off-road car, capable of moving both on land and in water. Produced in Germany between 1942 and 1944, it was deployed on all European theaters of war from 1942 to 1945. Its amphibious capabilities allowed it to overcome water obstacles without the need for constructing crossings, making it invaluable during reconnaissance and communications operations.

Kettenkrad (Sd.Kfz.2) was one of the most unconventional military vehicles of World War II. Combining the features of a motorcycle and a tracked transporter, it was designed to carry soldiers, supplies, and equipment over difficult and muddy terrain. It was frequently used on the Eastern Front, in North Africa, and during amphibious operations, renowned for its unique maneuverability and endurance from 1941 to 1945.
