Yeah I see Torro lists it as " Swimable ". I was thinking fording the occasional small rain puddle might be in scope...

I have a nicely made brass Schwimmwagen or most of one I bought on ebay Europe a goodly number of years ago.
It's about 1/10 scale (what else right?) and hefty. There are some holes in the body intended for controls but with a little work
I believe it could wade through still shallow waters; I wouldn't send it out into a lake surely.... It's rather nicely done; whoever formed the
body parts knew what they were doing as they look machine pressed quality. Don't know if it was a limited run kit or one off. Zero markings
on it. I purchased it and a Kubel of the same scale from the same chap at that time. Could be as long as 15 years ago.

I like these small vehicles, we need more thing like this in all scales. Al tanks becomes boring even for me.
