A nicely detailed model of the Steyr Type 1500A/01 was a light truck. The distinctive shape of the engine hood and features such as the side mounted spare tyre accurately reproduced. Front doors may be modelled in both open and closed positions for increased display possibilities. Die-cast chassis provides added weight to the model. One driver figure included. 3 types of high-quality markings are also included.
Prior to the start of WWII, the German army used a variety of vehicles in preparation for their mobile Blitzkrieg tactics. However, the "Schell" Program of 1940 called for a standardization of vehicles for more efficient production, and one of the vehicles chosen for use was the Austrian Steyr 1500A/01. With its air-cooled 3.5 liter V8 engine and 4WD, the vehicle proved to be rugged and reliable, and was produced as a light truck, soft top infantry carrier, and staff car. It's versatility made it a useful transport vehicle on all battle fronts.
