1/48 Scale

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen (loosely translated - "Light Armoured Scout Car") four- wheel drive armoured cars based on the standard sPkw Horch 801 chassis. There are three main types of German four-wheeled armored cars, Sd.Kfz. 221, 222 and 223 with the 222 being most common. Germany produced approximately 989 Sd.Kfz 222 from 1935 to1944. The main differences between the types are weight, armament and turret construction. Early models had an anti-grenade screen on top of the turret but later models had re-designed turrets which allowed for better elevation of the guns.
