1/35 Skoda PA-II Turtle - Takom
Takom 1/35 Škoda PA-II Turtle is a plastic kit of the Czechoslovak “Želva” armoured car. It includes 107 parts, clear parts, rubber tyres and markings for five vehicles. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
The Škoda PA-II armoured car was developed by Škoda in Plzeň in the mid-1920s for the Czechoslovak army. Its strongly rounded armoured body earned it the nickname Želva (Turtle). The vehicles served with the assault vehicle units and in the 1930s also with the police; after 1939 they were also taken over by the German army.
According to the manufacturer, the Takom kit in 1/35 scale was the first injection-moulded plastic kit of the Turtle in this scale. It contains 107 grey and 4 clear parts, 4 rubber tyres and decals for five vehicles: Police HQ Moravská Ostrava 1937, the Training Squadron of Armoured Cars at Milovice 1932, two vehicles of the Assault Vehicles Regiment at Milovice 1925–32 and a German Panzerspähwagen Škoda PA-II in the French campaign of 1940. The wheels can be built steered and the German version has a radio antenna; the painting and markings guide was prepared by AMMO of Mig Jimenez.
Its unusual shape and the choice of Czechoslovak and German versions make the model an attractive addition to a collection of interwar vehicles. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
