TAMIYA 1/35 SD.KFZ. 222 LEICHTER PANZERSPAHWAGEN 4X4 AFRIKA-KORPS

Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen 4x4 Afrika-Korps Plastic Model Kit

The Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen 4x4 Afrika-Korps recreates one of WWII's most widely recognised German armoured cars in its North African configuration, complete with a DKW motorcycle and new commander, radio operator and rider figures.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

Among the many armoured cars developed by Germany in WWII, the Sd.Kfz.222 is one of the most widely recognised. This light 4x4 vehicle had a distinctive hull shape thanks to its welded construction and featured an open turret with mesh covers to protect the 3 crew members against grenades and shrapnel. It was armed with a 20mm cannon and 7.92mm machine gun, and its exceptional off-road capability made it an excellent reconnaissance vehicle.
