German Recon 20mm Airfix Classic (Vintage) Set

Another Airfix classic, this time a muddled box of confused spares and complete sprues with had two Kubelwagans and two 222 armoured cars. Yes the early war German classic Recon Set (see below, one twist as I left teh turrets off the armoured cars as I will be converting these to a 221 machine gun armed version and a 223 radio car version - wish me luck):   


This would mean that combined with my existing force of 222 armoured cars (good for Russia 1941 onwards to 1943 in grey), or I can either go more early war, and field the machine gun armed 221 and Hortch Kf 13 armoured cars (thinking Poland 1939 and France 1940). Either way the 223 is a good radio Command Car option.

Ambitious, sounds like fun as well.

I've always thought highly of the Airfix recon kit. The figures were useful too.

pancerni I have a cunning plan and some spare radio aerials from PSC 232 armoured car set

Archduke Piccolo you are spot on
The German figures look like Colditz Guards that mean business
