Sdkfz 231 Armoured Car in 15mm scale...
...5 kits for the wargames market in the one box, from The Plastic Soldier Company
The Plastic Soldier Company continue to please with their growing range of 15mm scale (1/100) vehicle models. In this instance we have one of their recent releases, a set for the Sdkfz 231 8-rad armoured cars. All the parts you need for your chosen option on the single sprue and with 5 full sprues in the box, you not only get 5 complete models but plenty of spare parts to then add to your spares box. You can build the basic turreted armoured car, the Sdkfz 231 or with the large frame aerial the Sdkfz 232, the fixed superstructure and aerials of the Sdkfz 263 Command variant and lastly the open top 75mm SP the Sdkfz 233, which also includes a couple of crew figures as well. There are also options on fitting things like the extra stand-off armour shield on the front of the vehicle.
Assembly is straightforward and with moulded on detail on the mudguards it looks right.
​
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 5 per box, this is good for building up your units.
