Hobby Boss 83816 - 1/35 German Sd.Kfz.222 Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle (3rd Series) Display Kit  [HB-83816]

1/35 Hobby Boss 83816 Sd.Kfz.222 Kit Overview

The Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen was a compact reconnaissance vehicle used from 1935 to 1944, recognised by its angled armour and small turret on a Horch 801 chassis. Its rear 90 hp engine gave a top speed near 80 km/h on roads and around 40 km/h off-road. Although effective in certain theatres, it was less suited to rough Eastern Front and desert operations and was partly superseded by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

The Hobby Boss 1/35 rendition aims to replicate the vehicle faithfully, supplying parts that let builders craft an accurate scale subject. The Hobby Boss 83816 - 1/35 German Sd.Kfz.222 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle (3rd Series) is well suited to display modelling and historical collections.

Parts Count and Build Characteristics

The kit is made up of over 380 plastic pieces across 14 sprues, with defined upper and lower hull parts and four rubber tyres. Included photo-etched pieces increase surface fidelity, and slide-mould techniques produce parts that assemble with good fit and reduced seam work.
