{"product_id":"tam35321","title":"Tamiya 1\/35 Simca 5 Staff Car - German Army Model Kit - TAM35321","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Simca 5 was a small passenger car which debuted in March 1936. It was almost identical to the Fiat 500 Topolino as the car was actually designed by Fiat. The car was equipped with an independent front suspension, a 4-speed transmission, hydraulically-controlled drum brakes, and a 12-volt electrical system. At the time, the car was meant to be affordable for the French public, in the same way that the later Volkswagen Beetle and Fiat 500 brought inexpensive private motoring to the masses in Germany and Italy respectively. It was also very fuel efficient. Many were in use by the time WWII began, and the German Army captured large numbers of them when they occupied France. These were pressed into military service as staff cars for transporting personnel and liaison duties. Over 46,000 Simca 5s were built by the time production ended in 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Tamiya model kit is an exact replica that can be built and detailed using Tamiya fine finishing supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTamiya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer item\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35321\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStore SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAM35321\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMilitary Vehicle Model Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eScale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-military-models\"\u003eTamiya Military Models \u0026amp; Armor\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-1-35-military-models\"\u003eTamiya 1\/35 Military Models\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/military-models\"\u003eMilitary Models\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-paints\"\u003eTamiya Paints \u0026amp; Modeling Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-models\"\u003eAll Tamiya Model Kits\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67986300862538,"sku":"TAM35321","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/tam35321","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
