The Italeri 1/72 model of the Sd.Kfz. 265 Panzerbefehlswagen provides a way to build and display a notable armoured command vehicle. Intended for Panzer Division commanders, the design used the Panzer I Ausf. B chassis and replaced the turret with a fixed superstructure to allow space for map tables and communications equipment.
Debuting during the Spanish Civil War, the Sd.Kfz. 265 later became dated by the start of World War II but remains significant to collectors and modellers. The kit offers a concise study in early armoured command design and is good for period displays.
