Rubicon Sd.Kfz 222... or 223 if you want [28mm]

It's an Sd.Kfz 222. Who doesn't like cute little armoured cars?! Not a bad little model for the most part. The turret was a bit fiddly and there are a handful of gaps around the place that could do with a touch of putty... but I am sure most modellers are capable of dealing with that sort of thing.
Still a good quality kit.

You nudged that model together nicely.

[@Tirana-qg1ft]

So glad they included Chinese decals

[@toolazy4names302]

It's nice to see videos of more obscure models. Also nice Sonderkraftfahrzeug 222

[@nheather]

Just building one of these and encountered the same puzzle mounting the magazine on the 2cm cannon. I worked it out it the end and it explains the MG34 being too close as well. When dry fitting I did like you, inserting the tab on the MG34 into the slot on the 2cm cannon. This is a mistake - there is a small indent above the slot which is where the MG34 fixes. The magazine pushes through the slot.

Nice build, for realism the wheels should be able to be glued with free rotation, so those protection triangles are not all pointing the same way. I haven't build a Rubicon model yet, on videos and pictures they look great for gaming models, just like 15mm battlefront plastic vehicles, full of detail for those wanting to go the extra mile with a gaming piece.

[@smoessmee]

Yeah, so many left over bits that I built another armoured car with the bits and plasticard. And there's still quite a few bits left after that.

[@williamallen6756]

The reason why the Mesh screen won't close is because you have attached the 20mm ammunition case wrong. The ammunition case slides through the gun casing to the other side.

[@stuartmiller8053]

a lot of detail for a little kit

[@pandaphil]

Nice. I built the Tamiya version of this little go-buggy awhile back. Definitely went together more easily.

[@rikbryan9709]

Nice kit bud! You must have read my mind.Been playing Sniper Elite on the PS4 lately and these feature quite a lot in the game. Thought to myself "I must get a kit of one of these". Cheers Herbert.

[@Pezzapoo]

Great vid as always H

[@kristoff7049]

Good build video with some areas to be aware of....

[@nbell63]

I'm so glad you put this together, Herb'. I was looking at getting this very model but wasn't sure about the size of the 1:56. I can see from this that I'd be better served with a 1:35 (although, if I could find one, a 1:48 would probably be perfect). Again, thanks for this, it's been really helpful. 😊

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[@bishopcedric4395]

@Lian Van instablaster :)

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

I think I will join the shovel fight some day (means: Probably get this model).

[@jantimmer5558]

Nice review.

[@rentaspoon219]

Looks a lot like the bolt action kit except you have the gunners and *looks* easier to build

[@sembijl2273]

Looks very good herbert. Can you show all your models you made in a video😁

[@williamallen6756]

They should have made the Grenade screen out of Photo-Etch.

[@pp-wo1sd]

I belive the thing you installed at 5:03 is a thing that helps you stay at a correct distance in a convoy . Unforunately I don't remember how it worked .

[@tomisureamnolizard7973]

It has 4 lamps, if you can see all 4 lights you are to close, if you can only see one light you are to far away and if you can see two lights you are at the right distance. I Hope this helped

[@currentseer8919]

The 222 is the best armored car choice the Germans have other than the puma. Puma is significantly more expensive.

[@billchristo7894]

You should look at photos of real vehicles to help you build them. It helps big time. The gun was botched just a weeee bit. 😉

[@extreme_loe]

Yeeeeeeees more 28mm yeah More bolt action? 👉👈

[@fabono4060]

Where i can buy it ?

[@wartornminiatures2533]

Rubicon UK (if you're in Europe).

[@hellcat64]

this is the same kit as the warlord version. just sprew layout different

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It isn't the same though.
