A total of over 14,000 units of the vehicle were produced. From the set of 200 COBI construction blocks you can build the VW Type 166 Schwimmwagen military floating passenger and ground vehicle. The vehicle is accompanied by a figure of a German Luftwaffe soldier equipped with a Mauser rifle and a fugitive with a print. The set also contains a vehicle name plate. Schwimmwagen is an ideal set for building historical scenes and dioramas recreating any European WWII front. It is also an ideal addition to a COBI Battle Game Strategy session. In the manual there?s a playing card complete with the vehicle statistics.
