ICM 35135 Unimog S 404 German military truck 1/35

The ICM 35135 Unimog S 404 is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit in the popular 1/35 scale, designed for enthusiasts of military and military vehicle modelling. The set allows you to build the German military truck Unimog S 404 – the legendary vehicle produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1955-1980 in Germany. This variant formed the core of the Bundeswehr's logistics equipment, and was also widely used by fire and rescue services.

The model delivers full realism replicating the historical original – from the characteristic silhouette with its rounded cab, through the detailed frame, suspension, and technical components, to the authentic markings of the German Army. Thanks to hundreds of high-quality plastic parts, both exterior features and cab interior are recreated. Clear instructions and the option to build the kit in several historical versions based on real examples used from the Cold War era to the present day make it ideal for modellers.

The Unimog S 404 stands as one of the greatest successes in German military automotive engineering – produced in the impressive number of over 64,000 units, it served as a transport vehicle, ambulance, command vehicle, and fire truck. Its greatest popularity came within the Bundeswehr – over 36,000 units joined the German armed forces, providing reliable transport in hard-to-reach terrain. It is renowned for its outstanding durability and versatility.

We recommend this model to both intermediate and advanced modellers (difficulty level: 3/5). It is designed for detailed work and camouflage painting, allowing you to develop your skills. The model is a perfect addition to a Cold War military vehicle collection and a great base for military dioramas.
