Model Kit

The AFV Club AF35231 1/35 Schwere Panzersphwagen Sd.Kfz.231 8-Rad Early Type Model Kit recreates Germanys groundbreaking eight-wheeled heavy armored reconnaissance vehicle that set a new standard for mobility and protection during the early years of World War II. The Sd.Kfz.231 (8-Rad) featured an advanced all-wheel-drive, all-wheel-steering suspension system that gave reconnaissance units exceptional performance over difficult terrain while its armored hull and turret provided protection during scouting missions. This detailed 1/35 scale kit accurately captures the early production version with its distinctive eight-wheel chassis, sloped armored body, rotating turret with 2cm KwK 30 cannon and MG34 machine gun, large observation hatches, detailed suspension components, and finely reproduced exterior equipment. Widely used by German reconnaissance formations from the late 1930s through the early war campaigns, the Sd.Kfz.231 represents an important milestone in armored vehicle design.
