Tamiya 32549 - 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A/01 Support Vehicle Scale Kit  [32549]

Overview of the 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A/01 from Tamiya

While tanks often grab attention in battlefield scenes, support trucks and staff cars add vital context to WWII dioramas. This Tamiya 1/48 Steyr Type 1500A/01 kit gives modelers a compact, accurate subject to bring supply and staff roles to life on a display base.

Origins and wartime duties of the Steyr 1500A/01

Before the wider conflict, standardisation initiatives shaped German vehicle procurement. The Steyr 1500A/01 stood out for its air-cooled 3.5 litre V8 engine and dependable 4WD layout. That combination made it useful as a light truck, personnel carrier and staff transport across varied fronts.

Kit details and display options

The Tamiya kit reproduces the Steyr Type 1500A/01 exterior with careful panel lines and fittings. Builders can pose the front doors open or closed, use the die-cast chassis for a realistic weight balance, and add the included driver figure. Three decal marking options let you place the model in different unit roles.
