Mystery Armored Car


This is a small resin HO 1/87th scale German WWII armored car.


It is essentially a 222 armored car without a turret.


I am not actually sure of the designation of this vehicle.


I am not even sure who made it.


I think it is from Bill, Junior, but I am not sure.


It is an okay model.  I found it in a zip lock type baggie with no markings in one of my spares boxes.  Who knows how long it has languished there?  I am thinking about giving it to the Luftwaffe as an air/ground liasion vehicle.

    Looks like a SdKfz 260 Radio Car at a guess, some had bed post antennae and some did not.

    Bunkermeister:
    AFter checking my armored fighting vehicles (move over Jane's)...it is indeed an SdKfz 222 (sans turret) - probably a command/radio vehicle, which would ACTUALLY make it an SdKfz 261.

    Hope this helps.

    Carry on.
