Detailed Tamiya 32574 1/48 Sd.Kfz.232 Heavy Armoured Car Model Kit  [32574]

Intro to the Tamiya 1/48 Sd.Kfz.232 heavy armoured car model

The Sd.Kfz.232 heavy armoured car was a key German reconnaissance vehicle in WWII, equipped with a Fu.11 radio and a distinctive frame-type antenna for extended communications. Its armament paired a KwK30 20mm cannon with an MG34 machine gun, giving it both reconnaissance and light combat capability.

Designed for mobility, the vehicle could travel at 90km/h on roads and used an 8-wheel drive system, plus front and rear driving positions to aid movement in varied terrain. It operated across European theatres, North Africa and the Russian front alongside Panzer units.

Tamiya's 1/48 scale kit recreates these characteristics in a compact format, appealing to modellers who want historically accurate detail without the scale and space of larger kits.
