The Sd.Kfz.232 was an integral part of the German military's reconnaissance efforts during the early stages of World War II. Known for its robust build and versatile capabilities, this heavy armored car was equipped with a long-distance wireless radio, prominently featuring a large antenna. Armed with a 2cm gun and an MG34 machine gun in its turret, the Sd.Kfz.232 could reach speeds of up to 90 km/h on-road, thanks to its advanced 8-wheel drive system and dual driving positions.
This model by Tamiya brings the Sd.Kfz.232 to life in stunning 1/35 scale, offering modelers a chance to recreate its historical significance. The kit includes various equipment such as early type jerry cans and tools, enhancing realism. The package features desert-themed artwork, reflecting the vehicle's deployment in North Africa. Additionally, it includes figures of a German officer in tropical uniform and a soldier for the turret.
For those interested in diorama building, this model comes with photo-etched parts like light-protecting nets and an aluminum barrel for the 2cm gun, adding to its authenticity. Decals are provided for multiple fronts, including the North African, Balkans, and Kursk, allowing for diverse display options. Pairing this Sd.Kfz.232 with other models, such as the Sd.Kfz.222, can create a compelling WWII scene.
