Italeri 7072 1/72 Sd.Kfz. 265 Panzerbefehlswagen - Compact Historical Replica

This Italeri 1/72 rendition of the Sd.Kfz. 265 Panzerbefehlswagen lets model builders recreate an important command vehicle from mid 20th century armored forces. Designed for Wehrmacht Panzer Division commanders, the vehicle used the Panzer I Ausf. B chassis and replaced a conventional turret with a fixed superstructure to increase internal room for maps and radio gear.

Operational Background and Modelling Interest

Seeing service as early as the Spanish Civil War, the Sd.Kfz. 265 played a role in battlefield coordination despite becoming obsolete by the start of the Second World War. Builders will value the chance to work on a compact command vehicle that illustrates how armored command designs evolved in that period.
