About product

Kfz.2 German Radio Car Type 170VK (1:35, MiniArt)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the German light Kfz.2 signals car in 1:35 scale from MiniArt. The subject is the variant on the Mercedes-Benz Type 170VK passenger chassis fitted with a radio set. The MiniArt kit adds a richly broken-down interior with the radio equipment and photo-etched parts. Check the actual package contents and the marking options against the manufacturer's part number for this item. Note: MiniArt also offers a related Communications Car version on the same chassis — this item is the Radio Car variant.

The real subject

The Kfz.2 was a light signals and courier car of the Wehrmacht built on the civilian Mercedes-Benz 170VK chassis. It was a four-wheeled vehicle with rear-wheel drive, an open body with a folding canvas roof and a modest inline engine. In the Kfz.2 version it carried a radio set and served for communication and for passing orders between units, above all in the early years of the war.

Building and painting tips

With vehicles that have an interior it pays to assemble, paint and pick out the inside with the radio equipment before the body is closed up. Cut off and glue the small parts and the photo-etch carefully — the plastic with thin cement, the photo-etch with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Once the base shade and the varnish are down, bring out the recesses and the rivets with a dark wash and add dust and mud effects with pigments, above all on the chassis and the tires.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of German signals and soft-skin support vehicles of the Wehrmacht
  • Modelers with experience of building interiors and photo-etched parts
  • Anyone interested in light wheeled vehicles of the Second World War in 1:35 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
