Stressy 129 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Which is the best offering of the sd.kfz 222 in 1/35? Link to post Share on other sites
Longbow 4,181 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Most probably the Hobby Boss ones, detail wise. Link to post Share on other sites
JackG 2,844 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Hobby Boss are the most recent boxings of this subject, so it does stand to reason they are the best detailed. Tamiya's kit first came out in 1975, and in 2003 added a metal barrel and some PE to make it a more 'modern' kit. The other option is Tristar, which are no longer in production. HobbyBoss did acquire this company's molds, so kit HB80149 is actually Tristar, and supposedly has the most accurate hull shape. All the kits suffer some inaccuracies, as the 222 vehicle was produced in five different production runs. You can read more here, though it might not help decide which kit to purchase: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/hobby-boss-vs-tristar-sd-kfz-222-kits-t318440-s20.html regards, Jack Link to post Share on other sites

Zack 53 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Hi Stressy, I have built the Tamiya offering when the kit first came out back in the 70ies. It is a nice kit and goes together with no drama. I can also recommend the Bronco 221. Good luck with your build! Zack Link to post Share on other sites
