Sd.Kfz 222 1/35 Scale Precision Kit - Tamiya 35270  [35270]

Precision 1/35 Sd.Kfz 222 - Tamiya 35270

This 1/35 scale plastic kit models the German Sd.Kfz 222 four-wheel-drive armoured reconnaissance car, included in Tamiya's 1/35 military range for exterior detail and scale fidelity.

The Sd.Kfz 222 was designed in the 1930s as a light reconnaissance vehicle and saw service through the mid-war years. It featured welded armour, an open-topped rotating turret shielded by mesh deflectors, and was armed with a 20mm cannon alongside a 7.92mm machine gun. The vehicle's four-wheel-drive chassis and independent suspension aided its performance across varied terrain.

Tamiya focuses this kit on surface realism. The set includes photo-etched parts to accurately replicate the turret hatch mesh and a turned aluminium barrel for the main gun. Extras useful for diorama scenes include jerry cans, drum cans, a single crew figure, and an updated decal sheet based on recent study. Once assembled the model measures roughly 134mm long and 57mm wide.

A compact subject with high external fidelity, this kit suits collectors and modellers interested in a well-detailed WW2 German armoured car with metal and etched upgrades.
