The German Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen holds a notable place in military history as a light armored reconnaissance vehicle used by Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1944. Known for its distinctive design, it featured an angled armored body and turret, mounted on a Horch 801 chassis. Equipped with a rear-mounted 90 hp engine, it achieved a top speed of 80 km/h on roads and 40 km/h off-road. Despite its effectiveness on Western European roads, its performance was limited on the challenging terrains of the Eastern Front and North Africa, leading to its replacement by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.
The Hobby Boss 1/35 scale model of the Sd.Kfz.222 offers enthusiasts a chance to recreate this iconic vehicle with precision. This kit is designed to capture the essence of the original with meticulous attention to detail, making it an excellent choice for both display and collection.
The model comprises over 380 plastic parts, spread across 14 sprues, including the upper and lower hulls and finely detailed rubber tires. The inclusion of photo-etched parts adds to the authenticity, allowing builders to achieve a high level of realism. The multi-directional slide-molded components ensure that each piece fits together seamlessly, providing a rewarding assembly experience.
