Sdkfz 231 Armoured Car in 1/72 scale...

...3 kits for the wargames market in the one box, from The Plastic Soldier Company

The Plastic Soldier Company do this subject in their smaller 15mm scale range, as well as this larger 1/72 version.  In this one you get three complete kits, so you can make any combination of 4 versions.  The basic turreted armoured car, with or without the frame aerial, the fixed superstructure of the Command variant, with both frame and mast aerials, as well as the open top 75mm gun armed support version.  They make up quickly and easily if built straight from the box, just a small bit of flash to remove from the mould seam around the tyres.  Designed for handling on a wargames table, the details such as the frame aerials all a bit on the 'heavy' side for the purist who wants fine scale detailing, but as these are primarily aimed at wargamers, where they will get plenty of handling, I rate that as fine.

​

There are no transfers included in the kit, but the Plastic Soldier Company do have a handy range of transfers available separately so you can choose your preferred units markings.

For the gamer, with 3 per box, this is good for building up your units.
