German Leichter Panzerspahwagen(2cm)Mid Version, 1/35 - Hobby Boss 80149

The model German Leichter Panzerspähwagen (2cm) Mid Version by Hobby Boss, reference 80149, reproduces a German light armoured reconnaissance vehicle Sd.Kfz. 222 at the 1/35 scale. This is a plastic kit dedicated to an intermediate version of this four-wheeled vehicle.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen (2 cm), designated Sd.Kfz. 222, belonged to the family of German light armoured cars used during the Second World War. Intended for reconnaissance, it is especially distinguished by its open turret protected by a wire-mesh screen and by its main armament of 2 cm, which is the origin of its designation.

At the 1/35 scale, this armoured vehicle naturally fits into a collection of German military vehicles or into a diorama dedicated to reconnaissance units. Reproducing a wheeled vehicle also allows you to work on dust, mud and wear effects suited to a field scene.

Assembling a plastic kit requires the usual modeller’s tools: sprue cutters, glue suitable for polystyrene, fine abrasives and paints. A primer makes it easier to prepare the surfaces before painting, while a controlled weathering can highlight the armour volumes, the wheels and the turret details.
