Product: 1:48 Sd.Kfz 232
During the first half of WWII, German reconnaissance units greatly used
the Sd.Kfz.231 series heavy armored car. Above all, the Sd.Kfz.232 was
equipped with a Fu.11 radio and featured a large frame-type antenna
mounted on the body. It also came armed with a KwK30 20mm cannon and an
MG34 machine gun mounted on its turret. The 8-wheeled Sd.Kfz.232 had an
on-road top speed of 90km/h, featured elaborate front and rear driving
positions, and a superb 8-wheel drive system. These 8-wheeled armored
cars were deployed to armored reconnaissance battalions of Panzer
divisions and served as the eyes of the German army from Europe and
North Africa to the Russian front. The Tamiya 1/48 scale model kit
carefully captures all the fine detail of the full size subject. This
subject was only previously available in 1/35 scale and it's now part of the Tamiya 1/48 scale model collection.
