With a 4-cylinder gasoline engine capable of 25hp, the Schwimmwagen featured the 80km\/h top speed on ground. The rear three-bladed screw propeller was lowered manually using a rod and provided water speed up to 10km\/h. While paucity of materials meant many Schwimmwagen used 133mm tires, those with wider 200mm tires enjoyed superior off-road performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
