Hi folks. Todays project is a blast from my past. I remember making ths a couple of times in the eighties. That's the decade not my age...

Here is one from the black and white times. 

This is an armored radio version of Sd.Kfz222 four-wheeled armored car. With 2 figures (one is half-bodied) in tropical uniforms. It is a 2003 re-issue of an original 1975 tooling.

 

A goodly amoount of plastic for the money and an interesting subject. Great one for adding to larger dioramas or as the main subject of its own.

As is common there is a Japanese and an English version of the instructions along with a hints and tips sheet and an additional sheet to show us how to add the etched parts.

Here are the etched pasts along with the decals.

Let's have a look at the plastic.

And now a little more detail.

The main hull parts.

          

Finders keepers...

Wheels and parts for underneath.

Figures and parts for on top.

 Here's one I made earlier.

A quick scan of the instructions.

   

    

Time to stick plastic together...
