Description:

Pz. Spähwagen P 204(f)
50mm KwK L/42

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a French WW2 Panhard AMD 178 armoured car captured and modified by Germans.

When Germany decided to invade Vichy France in 1942 they took back the Panhards retained by Vichy after armistice and 34 of them were modified to use an open superstructure mounting a a 50mm L/42 or L/60 gun. These vehicles were used for occupation duties.

Kit shares the main sprue of the other Panhards, with wheels and chassis (45 parts) and a new sprue with superstructure and gun of 13 parts. This introduces a new odd, as the open structure shows the interior walls but no detail is provided for them.

The kit includes a single, quite generic, marking.
