Ukrainian based Ace Models latest 1/72 scale release in plastic is this interesting model of the German Army Kfz 14.
72237 Radio Car Kfz.14

The ModelsFunkkraftwagen* (Kfz.14) was the Maschinengewehrkraftwagen * (Kfz.13) fitted with long range radio equipment and frame antenna and served as wireless radio car. It was issued to Aufklarungs (reconnaissance) detachments from 1932 onwards and remained in service until 1941, after which it was relegated to a training role.
* You can see why the German Army used abbreviated titles for their vehicles!

Although the release is billed as the Kfz 14 the sprue shots are of the Kfz 13 and don’t show either the frame antenna or the radio equipment but I presume they are included.

Hi! It's great to see that a new braille scale model maker appears on Armorama From an other forum: the sprues for the Kfz 13 and Kfz 14 are the same, only the decals and the instructions are different. The frame antenna has to be built from wires (only the mounts are included in the kit). Personally, I have built one kit from ACE. It had a rather poor molding quality, but had all the details one can hope for. Nevertheless, this kit already appeared on my shopping list, I'm sure that with much work it will turn into a great model.
