Tamiya 35297 Sd.Kfz.232 Africa-Corps 1/35 Historical Military Model Kit  [35297]

Tamiya 35297 - 1/35 Sd.Kfz.232 Africa-Corps detailed model

The Sd.Kfz.232 was a specialist reconnaissance vehicle used in the early war period, equipped with a long-range radio mast and an eight wheel drive system. Its turret carried a 2cm cannon and an MG34, enabling it to perform scouting missions while retaining defensive capability.

Historical overview and kit content

The Tamiya 35297 reproduces the Sd.Kfz.232 in exacting 1/35 scale. The kit includes period fittings such as early jerry cans and hand tools to improve authenticity, and the illustrated box suggests the North African operational environment. Two crew figures wearing tropical uniforms are supplied for realistic crew poses.

Model finishing and display uses

Included photo-etched parts, like protective nets for lights and an aluminium 2cm barrel, raise the standard of the finished model. Decals for North Africa, the Balkans and Kursk give multiple marking choices, and the model pairs well with other 1/35 armour for a museum style or diorama presentation.
