Product Description
Sd Kfz 221 & 222 Light Scout Troop (GBX92)
includes two resin and metal Sd Kfz 221s, two resin and metal Sd Kfz 222s, one plastic Tank Commander sprue and one Unit card.
The Afrika Korps used a mix of light and heavy armoured cars for reconnaissance and to protect themselves from marauding British armoured cars.
The scout troops press British armoured cars back with determination, but in the end, they are aware of their limitations and the foolishness of attempting to assault infantry with a wheeled vehicle.
The Sd Kfz 222 was armed with a 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 autocannon and a 7.92 mm MG 13 machine gun. The crew was increased to three by the addition of a gunner, relieving the commander of that task. In 1938, the MG 13 was replaced by a Maschinengewehr 34, in 1942 the KwK 30 was replaced by the faster firing KwK 38 of the same calibre. Production ran from 1937 to late 1943, with at least 990 vehicles being produced for the army. Its full name was Leichter Panzerspähwagen (2 cm).
Note: This product is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints not included.
