The Sdkfz.223 is produced by Andrew Designs, a much respected company specialising in
fine quality and accurate armour. All the radio controlled vehicles they produce have a metal chassis and running gear, with injection
moulded plastic, etched brass and resin detail parts. The 223 have 4 wheel drive and four wheel steering as standard, this together
with suspension makes it an all terrain vehicle capable of going most places a tank can.
Available in kit form they include comprehensive
and clear instructions with step by step illustrations and text. The detail on these miniature works of art is breathtaking with plenty
of scope to personalise your model with 3rd party accessories such as bags and helmets. Although not included in the kit, there is
the possibility of motorising the turret and gun traverse, along with lighting and crew. The all metal bottom half makes for a very
strong vehicle that should give hours of trouble free use.
