The Simca 5 was a Fiat-designed compact introduced in 1936, valued for its economy and small size. It became a common sight across Europe before and during the war, often compared to the Volkswagen Beetle for its influence and to the Fiat 500 for its urban practicality. During World War II many Simca 5s were pressed into service by the German Army as staff cars, handling light transport and liaison roles. Production exceeded 46,000 units by 1946, securing its place in automotive and military history.
This Tamiya 35321 kit reproduces the Simca 5 at 1/35 scale with attention to authentic detail. The kit is suited to builders who focus on accuracy, offering refined suspension components, choice of open or closed door configurations, and a German Army driver figure to complete the vignette. Its parts layout supports neat assembly and realistic display for dioramas and shelves.
