1/35 SdKfz 222 Leichter Panzerspahwagen 2cm
The Leichter Panzerspahwagen were a series of light four-wheel drive armored cars produced by Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1944. The rear mounted engine was a 67 kW Horch 35 petrol engine, giving it a road speed of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h. It had a maximum range of 300 km. Used by the reconnaissance battalions Aufklarungs-Abteilung of the Panzer divisions, the type performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like those in Western Europe. However, on the Eastern Front and North Africa, this class of vehicle was hampered by its relatively poor off-road performance. In those theaters, it gradually found itself replaced in the reconnaissance role by the SdKfz 250 half-track. The SdKfz 250/9 was the SdKfz 250 with the same turret as the SdKfz 222.
