Period command car model - Tamiya 32553 - 1/48 German Steyr Type 1500A Command Car Military Model Kit  [32553]

Overview of the Tamiya Steyr Kommandeurwagen

The Tamiya 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A Kommandeurwagen kit recreates a compact wartime command car in accurate small-scale form. It is suitable for display cases and compact dioramas that need an authentic staff vehicle.

Historical use and vehicle characteristics

The original Steyr Type 1500A was adapted as a command car with added cabin comfort and a capable powertrain for cross-country travel. It was chosen for staff duties where mobility and basic comfort mattered.

Kit construction and display advice

Expect clear parts for the windows, an option for the canvas roof, and doors that can be modelled open or shut. The die-cast chassis improves balance on display stands and the included driver and commander figures complete a period vignette.
