Voyager Model PE35490 WWII German Sd.Kfz.232 8 ROD early version for AFV 35232 1/35

The upgrade set Voyager Model PE35490 is a specialist photo-etched detail set designed for the plastic model kit Sd.Kfz.232 8-Rad (early version) in 1/35 scale, dedicated to the AFV Club 35232 kit. This product was created for modelers who wish to bring historical accuracy and extraordinary construction detail realism to their representations of German WWII vehicles.

The Sd.Kfz.232 8-Rad was a heavy armored car built for the German army, serving during World War II (1939–1945). It featured a complex radio system and the distinctive rod antenna (8-Rod), making it a key reconnaissance vehicle of the Wehrmacht. It saw action on all theaters of the war, including the campaigns in France, the Balkans, North Africa, and the Eastern Front.

The PE35490 set is made from high-quality thin brass using the photo-etching technique. It offers a wide range of highly detailed parts, enabling accurate reconstruction of:

• armor elements and protective grilles
• small details such as buckles, handles, and latches
• precise radio antenna mounts characteristic for the early version of the vehicle
• utility surface details like ventilation grilles, fenders, steps, and tools

This high-quality upgrade set belongs to the category of photo-etched (PE) elements for plastic model kits, serving as an essential supplement for advanced reconstruction work and historical dioramas.

We recommend this product to experienced modelers who want to take their model’s appearance to a higher level of authenticity. The set requires precision and basic skills in working with PE parts (bending, cutting, assembly with cyanoacrylate glue).

Assembly difficulty level: 4/5
