Mirage Hobby presents us with another early war vehicle, this time a Polish wz.34-II armored car in 1/35th scale.
The wz. 34 armored car was developed as a modification of the wz. 28 half-track vehicle. The tracked wheels were replaced with wheels with tires. This allowed simpler maintenance and improved the reliability of the driving mechanism without major deterioration of the off-road capability. Ten squadrons of armored cars (some 80 vehicles) were mobilized in September 1939. In the first days of fighting the cars were used for reconnaissance and support. Despite great superiority of the German equipment, Polish crews achieved success thanks to bravery and using the element of surprise.
Mirage Hobby has just released this rare vehicle,the model 1934/II armored car in plastic form. Markings supplied for both Polish and German versions.
