The Tamiya 37019 Sd.Kfz.234/1 (2cm) 1/35 scale plastic model kit is a faithfully reproduced replica of the German armored car from the World War II period. The Sd.Kfz.234/1 was one of the most technologically advanced reconnaissance vehicles used by the Wehrmacht. The “/1” variant featured the Hängelafette 38 turret, armed with a 20 mm KwK38 automatic anti-aircraft cannon and the MG34 machine gun, making the vehicle effective against both infantry and lightly armored targets.

The Sd.Kfz.234/1 was built between 1944 and 1945 and was mainly deployed on both the Western and Eastern Fronts until the end of the war.
