The Italeri Schwimmwagen (HC-313) presents the amphibious evolution of the Volkswagen 82 Kübelwagen, developed by Ferdinand Porsche. Its light construction—around half a ton—meant two people could keep it moving through mud where heavier vehicles would bog down.
Designed for reconnaissance and liaison roles, the Schwimmwagen could traverse water where other vehicles had to stop, making it a versatile asset in challenging terrain.

As the Volkswagen 82 (Kubelwagen) proved very successful during the campaign in Poland, it was necessary to produce everincreasing numbers of this vehicle. Later, Ferdinand Porsche developed an amphibian version of this car, called the Schwimmwagen. The light weight of this vehicle (about 1/2 ton) permitted crossing of muddy areas, since only two men were sufficient to keep this vehicle moving. For reconnaissance and liaison missions, water had to be crossed frequently, which was impossible with other vehicles.
