Description

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the manufacturer:

The Skoda PA-II (Panzerwagen II) was developed by Skoda, based on the feedback on their PA-I. The design featured rounded armor plate–a rare sight at the time, which earned it the nickname “Turtle” with the troops. An up-armed prototype, the PA-II Delovy (cannon) was made, armed with a 75mm gun. Production started in 1923, with 12 units ordered. It was never accepted into official service; instead, Vienna’s police force purchased three vehicles in 1927, and the remaining nine vehicles were purchased by the Czech police force in 1937. The Germans took over the PA-IIs when they annexed Czechoslovakia in 1939, and used them as armored radio vehicles.

Molded in tan plastic; includes soft tires, decals and photo-etched metal parts.
