About the actual vehicle
In the early stages of World War II, in the blitzkrieg tactics deployed by the German army, which emphasized mobility, coordination between units was essential for the efficient execution of operations, and one of the vehicles that played an important role was the Sd.Kfz.232 6-wheeled armored radio vehicle. It was developed based on the 6-wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle Sd.Kfz.231 and was equipped with a Fu.11 radio inside the vehicle. For this radio, a large frame antenna was mounted on the upper part of the hull and turret with support struts. The same hull as the Sd.Kfz.231 was developed based on the chassis of a civilian 6-wheeled truck, and the hull made of sloping armor plates joined together by welding was mounted on top of the chassis. The vehicle was equipped with a rotating turret on top of the hull, and had one 2cm KwK30 as its main armament and one 7.92mm MG13 as its secondary armament. It proved its worth on the battlefield by demonstrating its long-range communication capabilities.
About the Model
This model is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Sd.Kfz.232, a 6-wheeled armored radio vehicle used by the German army in World War II. The distinctive hull shape, constructed from armor plates, is accurately reproduced in two halves, upper and lower. The hatches on various parts of the hull are separate parts, giving the model a three-dimensional detail. The underside of the chassis includes separate parts for the front and rear leaf springs and the drive shafts for the two rear axles. You can look forward to the mechanical finish. In addition, the fenders are separate parts, and the cases and on-board tools mounted on various parts of the hull and on the fenders are also included as separate parts. The turret on top of the hull is accurately modeled, and the hatches can be assembled in either the open or closed position. The main and secondary armaments, including the barrels and hull, are meticulously reproduced. Even after completion, the turret can rotate and the gun barrel can be moved up and down. The frame antenna, a distinctive feature of this vehicle, enhances the mechanical finish. Four marking options are included.
