The light armoured reconnaissance vehicles were a series of light four-wheel drive armoured cars produced by Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1944. They were designed to meet operational requirements including reliability, an ability to run on a variety of grades of fuel, simple construction and good off-road performance. The first in the series was the Sd.Kfz. 221. This type proved too small and too lightly armed, so in 1936-37 a heavier version was planned, using one of two standard chassis for four-wheel armoured cars. One of these used a front-mounted engine, the other rear-mounted. The latter was used in the Sd.Kfz. 222, which became the standard light armoured car in German army service until the defeat of Nazi Germany. The Volkswagen Kübelwagen, was a light military vehicle designed by Ferdinand Porsche and built by Volkswagen during World War II for use by the German military. Based heavily on the Volkswagen Beetle, it was prototyped as the Type 62, but eventually became known internally as the Type 82. These Airfix model kits will require paints and glue to complete.
