Sd.Kfz.232 8-Rad

Tamiya, 1/48 scale

by Brett Green



Description

Here is my new 1/48 scale Tamiya Sd.Kfz.232 8-Rad heavy armoured car.

 

 

I posted an in-box review of this kit on Missing-Lynx a few weeks ago.

As you'd expect from Tamiya, construction was viceless and fit was perfect.

 

 

The model itself was built straight from the box, but I added some stowage from three Plus Model 1/48 scale accessory sets and also a couple of items from Black Dog's Sd.Kfz.250/3 accessory set. Packs and tarps were formed from Kneadatite Yellow-Blue Epoxy Putty Tape; and the Commander is taken from a 1/48 scale Gaso.Line German tank crew set.

 

 

This model will feature in a detailed construction article in Issue 84 of Model Military International magazine. This issue also includes Bruce Culver's "Think Tank" reference piece on German armoured car development.

Thanks to Tamiya Japan for the sample
