The Sd.Kfz.232 served as a long range scout vehicle, notable for its large radio antenna and eight wheel drive layout. It combined a 2cm main gun with an MG34 to protect the vehicle while performing reconnaissance, and its design allowed for reasonable road speeds despite heavy equipment.
This Tamiya 35297 kit models the Sd.Kfz.232 at 1/35 scale with a selection of accessories like early jerry cans and service tools. Box art evokes the desert theatre and the kit includes two crew figures in tropical dress suitable for North African operations.
Photo-etched items such as light guards and an aluminium barrel for the 2cm gun are supplied for a sharper finish. With decals for North Africa, the Balkans and Kursk you can vary markings. Consider pairing this kit with a Sd.Kfz.222 or terrain base to create a convincing field scene.
