I've never seen a toy Schwimmwagen before. This one is owned by Henry Lewis, he showed it to me at the Birmingham show. Pretty neat.

When I first saw that I thought it was a go cart sized example, but the more I look at it, I'm thinking 18".  Is that about right?

If I could find mine, I'd measure it, but just going on memory, 18" is pretty close.

Yeah, about 18" is right. I should have put something in the photo for scale Smiley Henry said he happened upon it at a yard sale.

I've seen two version of it.  One has full German WWII markings and is a darker green than the one in the photo.  They are just about the right size for the original G.I. Joe action figures from the 60's.

The one we've got certainly isn't 18" long but its a decent sized one.
