Tamiya's 1/35 Scale Sd Kfz 222 Afrika Korps w/ DKW NZ350 # 35286 is a highly detailed model kit that accurately represents one of the most recognizable armored cars developed by Germany during World War II. This light 4x4 vehicle features a distinctive welded hull shape and an open turret with mesh covers to protect the three-person crew against grenades and shrapnel. It was armed with a 20mm cannon and a 7.92mm machine gun, and its exceptional off-road capabilities made it an excellent reconnaissance vehicle.

The model kit is of high quality, with sharp and angular forms of the hull and turret accurately reproduced. The open turret allows for the depiction of interior details, such as the 20mm cannon, which features a metal barrel for enhanced realism. The kit includes photo-etched parts for the turret mesh covers, adding even more detail to the model.

In addition to the armored car, the kit includes a DKW motorcycle and new parts, such as a hull-mounted tool box and headlight. Three new figures are also included: a commander and a radio operator located in the turret, as well as a motorcycle rider figure that can be modeled with different facial expressions and poses.

The kit offers three different types of markings, allowing for various display options. The packaging dimensions are 29.6 cm x 19.2 inches x 5.8 inches, and the package weighs 99.88 g. Assembly is required, as this is a detailed model kit.

Among the many armored cars developed by Germany during World War II, the Sd.Kfz.222 is one of the most widely recognized. Its distinctive hull shape, open turret, and array of armaments made it a formidable reconnaissance vehicle on the battlefield. Tamiya's 1/35 scale model kit captures the essence of this historic vehicle, offering modelers the opportunity to recreate this iconic piece of military history in stunning detail.
