1/35 Kfz.2/40 German Repair Car Type 170VK

The Kfz.2/40 was a German light vehicle based on the tried-and-tested Mercedes-Benz Type 170V passenger car, which served as the basis for a whole range of military variants. The Kfz.2/40 variant was a specialised repair version designed for the maintenance and repair of weaponry and communications equipment directly in the field. These vehicles formed an important part of the logistical support structure, as they kept both combat and support units operational in areas where no permanent workshop facilities were available. For modellers, this type is of particular interest precisely because of its role as support and service equipment, which helps to create a realistic picture of how the army operated behind the front lines.

The MiniArt 1:35 scale kit is a high-detail glue-together model that faithfully captures the character of the original. The pack includes a set of repair tools and equipment, allowing the vehicle to be displayed not only as a standalone display piece, but above all as an impressive element of a workshop or service scene. The photo-etched parts add fine details which, at this scale, enhance the realism of the finished model. The kit contains three variants of decals, so you can choose from a range of marking options.

The 1:35 scale is standard for military vehicles and provides ample scope for refining details and for incorporating the vehicle into a diorama alongside figures and other equipment. With a recovery vehicle, it is usually appropriate to emphasise signs of wear and tear, dust and traces of heavy use, which highlight its working nature. The pack does not contain the paints or adhesives required for assembly.
