Hobby Boss 83817 - 1/35 Sd.Kfz.223 Early Series Recon Vehicle Kit  [HB-83817]

Overview of the Hobby Boss 1/35 Sd.Kfz.223 Kit

The Hobby Boss 1/35 German Sd.Kfz.223 Leichter Panzerspahwagen (1st Series) is a faithful scale kit that recreates the compact reconnaissance armoured car. The parts reflect the vehicle's distinctive angled armour and turret features for authentic modelling results.

Operational Use and Design Notes

In service, the Sd.Kfz.223 provided reconnaissance and radio relay capability, pairing mobility with light armament. This kit mirrors the main turret and radio fittings to help modellers portray the vehicle as used in early war operations.

Craftsmanship and Build Considerations

Hobby Boss has laid out the model to allow precise assembly, with parts engineered for good fit and surface detail. Builders should expect several small assemblies and some trimming to achieve a seamless finish at 1/35 scale.

Collector Appeal and Diorama Potential

Completed models work well in small dioramas or grouped armoured vehicle displays. The Sd.Kfz.223's profile and historic role make it a useful subject for scenics and battlefront vignettes.
