Hobby Boss 83816 - 1/35 Sd.Kfz.222 Model Overview

The German Sd.Kfz.222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen served as a light armoured reconnaissance vehicle from 1935 to 1944, notable for its sloped armor and compact turret mounted on a Horch 801 chassis. Powered by a rear-mounted 90 hp engine, it reached about 80 km/h on roads and roughly 40 km/h off-road. While it performed well on Western European roads, it struggled on tougher Eastern Front and North African terrain, which contributed to its eventual replacement by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.
