Tamiya 1/48 German Sd.Kfz.232 Heavy Armored Car Model Kit

The German Sd.Kfz.232 heavy armored car played a crucial role in WWII, serving as a key component of reconnaissance units across various fronts. This vehicle was renowned for its advanced communication capabilities, featuring a Fu.11 radio and a distinctive frame-type antenna. Armed with a KwK30 20mm cannon and an MG34 machine gun, the Sd.Kfz.232 was a formidable presence on the battlefield.

With a top speed of 90km/h on roads, this 8-wheeled vehicle boasted both front and rear driving positions and an efficient 8-wheel drive system, making it highly maneuverable. Its deployment spanned from Europe to North Africa and the Russian front, providing critical intelligence for the German army's Panzer divisions.

Tamiya's 1/48 scale model kit offers an accurate and detailed representation of this historic vehicle, previously only available in 1/35 scale. Ideal for collectors and hobbyists, this kit captures the essence of the Sd.Kfz.232 with precision and realism.
