Tamiya 35321 1/35 German Army Simca 5 Staff Car

The Simca 5 was a version of the Fiat 500 "Topolino," manufactured by French concern Simca, and features such as hydraulic brakes and independent front suspension were advanced for the day. Its engine was placed in the front, and there was plenty of space for two to ride in the Simca 5, making this little vehicle a big success with around 65,000 units manufactured between 1936 and 1940. 6,000 of those were manufactured after the German occupation of France, many of them supplied to the Wehrmacht and deployed in various theaters of battle.
