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

Walkaround of the Tamiya Kommandeurwagen kit

This 1/48 scale Tamiya Steyr Type 1500A Kommandeurwagen kit gives hobbyists a close look at a compact command vehicle used in World War II. The model reproduces the vehicle's profile and period details for collectors and modellers who favour accurate small-scale builds.

Background and wartime role

The Steyr Type 1500A served as a light command vehicle, adapted from a reliable light truck chassis. Its real-world layout provided room for officers and communications gear, and the robust 8-cylinder engine supported cross-country movement when called for.

Kit layout and assembly notes

Builders will find options to pose doors open or closed, fit a canvas top or leave it off, and use the clear window parts for a neat finish. The included die-cast chassis adds heft and stability for display, while the supplied figures give a realistic vignette straight from the box.
