Revell vehicle armored scout vehicle p 204 (f) 03259

Revell model of the French Panhard 178,Pz.204 is a German armored car, French production from the Second World War. The cart was 4.79 meters long and 2.01 meters wide. The drive was provided by a single engine Panhard I SK with a power of 105 hp, allowing a top road speed of 72 km / h to be reached. The standard main armament consisted of a 25 mm gun and a single machine gun. Pz.204 (f) is in fact another name for the very successful French Panhard 178 armored car, which was used by the French Armed Forces in 1934. Vehicles of this type were used during the 1940 campaign in Western Europe and their quality was quickly appreciated by the German army, which quickly put the captured items into service in their own line. After the capitulation of France in June 1940, production of these cars  continued for the needs of the German army and lasted until 1944! It is worth adding that the Germans made two interesting modifications to this car. The first is a track reconnaissance vehicle, resulting in 43 vehicles being modified after 1941. On the other hand, in 1944 the Germans rebuilt about 30 cars of this type by installing a 50 mm gun (in a stationary casemate).
