TAMIYA 1/35 SDKFZ 234/1 W/2CM GUN LTD EDITION A Formidable 8-Wheeler
Among the four variants of the Sd.Kfz.234/1 8-wheel armored car, the 2cm
gun-toting 234/1 was the first designed, ahead of other 5cm and 7.5cm
gun models. The flat-panelled armored car was fitted with a 210hp diesel
engine that provided a top speed of 80km/h, and a 1,000km range;
combined with superior 8-wheel drive traction, the vehicle featured a
rear seat position to allow speedy getaways. The 2cm gun was fitted in
an open turret with co-axial 7.92mm machine gun, and a maximum elevation
of 70 degrees gave the crew a chance of shooting down enemy aircraft.
The roughly 230 produced in the last year of WWII from March 1944 saw
action in reconnaissance units on all fronts as the conflict moved
towards defeat for the Axis forces.
