Revell 1:35 - Armoured Scout Vehicle P204 (f) - Plastic Model Kit #03259

The Panhard 178 or "Pan-Pan" was a French four-cylinder armoured car designed for the French Cavalry in 1932 and aimed to function as a long-range scout vehicle. It had room for four crew members and was fitted with 25 mm armament and 7.5 mm machine gun.

As a reconnaissance car, the Panhard 178 was rather small, only 4.8 m long and 2.3 m high. Despite its weight of over 8 tonnes, the vehicle was still able to reach speeds of over 70 km/h. However, its off-road speed was limited to 42 km/h.

At the outbreak of the Second World War a number of Panhards were captured by German troops and renamed Panzerspähwagen P204 (f). In 1941 at least 190 units were manufactured for use in Operation Barbarossa.

The Panhard 178 design was considered advanced for its time and remained modern long after the war. It was the first four-cylinder armoured car mass-produced in France.

Revell 1:35 - German Staff Car Type 82E - Plastic Model Kit #03247

The German Staff Car Type 82, also known as Volkswagen Kübelwagen, was a light combat vehicle developed by Ferdinand Porsche and produced by Volkswagen during World War II for the needs of the German armed forces.

The first prototype designed in 1938 was designated Type 62. Due to its light weight and strong off-road characteristics, the vehicle was approved for further development. In 1939 first pre-production models were put to the test during the invasion of Poland. In general, the vehicle performed well on the battlefield, however some changes were required. The improvements concerned the lowest speed - it was reduced from 8 km/h to 4 km/h. The new version was named Type 82. 

The Type 82 extensive production started in 1940 and lasted till the end of the war. A few modified models appeared during that period including Type 82E. It had the traditional Volkswagen Beetle body instead of the box-shaped standard one. Also, the Type 82E was powered with the air-cooled flat 4-cylinder engine. 

By the end of the production in 1945, over 50 thousand Kübelwagen vehicles were built. Type 82 is considered one of the most useful and dependable vehicles of WWII.
