1/35 German Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen (First Series)

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the Hobby Boss description:

The Leichter Panzerspahwagen were a series of light four-wheel drive armoured cars produced by Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1944. It used standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis with an angled armoured body and turret.

Used by the reconnaissance battalions of the Panzer divisions, the type performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like those in Western Europe. However, on the Eastern Front and North Africa, this class of vehicle was hampered by its relatively poor off-road performance. In those theaters, it gradually found itself replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

This highly detailed kit comes molded in beige. Includes decals and photo-etched parts.
