1/48 Tamiya 32574 Sd.Kfz.232 Heavy Armoured Car Model Kit - Scale Builder Edition  [32574]

Scale model overview of the Tamiya 1/48 Sd.Kfz.232 heavy armoured car

The Sd.Kfz.232 was a German WWII heavy armored car used primarily for reconnaissance, recognised for its Fu.11 radio and tall frame-type antenna. Its armament combined a KwK30 20mm cannon with an MG34 machine gun to cover both observation and combat roles.

With a reported top road speed of 90km/h and an 8-wheeled drive configuration, the vehicle offered excellent mobility including front and rear driving capability. It saw service from European theatres to North Africa and the Eastern Front, supporting Panzer units with critical battlefield reports.

Tamiya's 1/48 kit captures these features at a reduced scale, giving modellers a compact, accurate reproduction of the Sd.Kfz.232 that complements larger 1/35 models in a collection.
