[MOC] Small 1920s car: Hanomag 2/10 PS "Kommissbrot" in 5w (1/32 scale)

[Sven J]

Hi all,

Here's my latest car model, built in 1/32 scale to match gauge 1 railways, but also quite close to Speed Champions/Town style.
The Hanomag 2/10 PS was a small German economy car produced from 1925 to 1928. Due to its shape, it quickly became nicknamed „Kommissbrot“ („Army Bread“).
The rear, differential-less axle was chain-driven by a half-litre single-cylinder engine producing a whopping 10 hp, which allowed the tiny car to reach a breathtaking top speed of 60 km/h (37 mph).
Though being an RHD vehicle (very uncommon for a German car), the Hanomag only had a door on the left side to increase body rigidity. Both convertible and fixed-roof versions were available.
Sales numbers didn’t meet expectations, for “real” cars like the Opel Laubfrosch or the BMW Dixi didn’t cost much more, but were superior in nearly every regard, so the 2/10 PS was replaced by the more conventionally-designed Hanomag 3/16 PS after only 3 years in production.

And here's how it looks:

Instructions for the fixed-roof version and .io files for both variants are available for free here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Best regards,
Sven

Interesting historical piece. Quite detailed for the size.

Awesome job, so many cool little details! I love how you created the windscreen on the convertible.

Nicely detailed and shape of the cars, especially the blue one with only the windscreen.
I didn't know of that little grey piece you used just in front of the windscreen. Is it a piece of cut flexible tube?

These are pieces of grey rigid hose cut to 3 mm length.
