The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a German light armoured car produced from 1935 until 1944. Germany developed several variants of this vehicle. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was an improved version of the Sd. Kfz. 221, armed initially with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 and a 7.92mm MG 13. Later on the MG 13 machine gun was replaced by the Maschinengewehr 34, and the KwK 30 was replaced by the KwK 38 of the same calibre. This variant of the vehicle was called the Leichter Panzerspähwagen 2 cm. Its production ran from 1937 to 1943 with nearly a thousand vehicles built in total.
The Sd. Kfz. 222 proved to be very efficient in the Balkans in 1941. Large numbers of these armoured cars were also sent to North Africa, however the limited volume of their fuel tanks meant the lack of effective range. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was gradually substituted with the Sd.Kfz.250/9 (Hanomag). A small number of vehicles were sold to China in 1939.

1:35 - Major Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler - Resin kit
Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler was a Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Marines. In 1942, a 28-year-old Hasler planned and led Operation Frankton. The operation was a commando raid on Axis shipping in the French port of Bordeaux occupied by the Germans. The mission was to attach mines to the hulls of German cargo ships. Three of the five canoes were lost on the way to the port. The surviving crewmen including Hasler reached the port successfully, placed the mines and managed to drown four cargo ships. They then walked 100 miles to a French village where they met with members of the Resistance and started their journey back to England through Spain and Gibraltar. For this operation Hasler was awarded the Distinguished Service Order by King George VI.
One kayak was damaged while being deployed from the submarine, and it and its crew therefore could not take part in the mission. Only two of the 10 men who launched from the submarine survived the raid: Hasler, and his number two in the kayak, Bill Sparks. Of the other eight, six were executed by the Germans and two died from hypothermia.
This product is available in two scales, 1:35 and 1:24 and was painstakingly designed from scratch as a digital model.
The kit includes: 2 x miniatures (Blondie Hasler and Bill Sparks) in their folding Cockle Canoe named 'Catfish' made by Campaign Models (UK).
