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

Overview of the Hobby Boss 83816 Sd.Kfz.222 in 1/35

The Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen was a light armoured scout vehicle used between 1935 and 1944, built on the Horch 801 chassis with a distinctive angled hull and small turret. A rear-mounted 90 hp engine allowed road speeds near 80 km/h and about 40 km/h off-road. Its mobility suited Western Europe, but it was less effective in the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front and North Africa, leading to replacement by the Sdkfz 250 half-track in many roles.

The Hobby Boss 1/35 kit captures the vehicle's proportions and surface features, offering builders precise parts to model a convincing replica. The Hobby Boss 83816 - 1/35 German Sd.Kfz.222 Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle (3rd Series) is geared toward modellers focused on historical accuracy.
