"As a result of the 1920 conference Germany was allowed an additional 100 armoured vehicles for police use and Daimler, Ehrhardt and Benz each received an order for the development of the Schupo Sonderwagen 21. Daimler built 33, Ehrhardt 32 and Benz 24. The vehicles were very similar being based on the Daimler DZR design and only differed in minor details and dimensions. It was the standard police armoured car during the Weimar Republic and was armed with two 7.92mm machine-guns in individual turrets. It had four-wheel drive and dual controls enabling it to be driven from the front or rear. The headlights were accommodated in armored boxes, which could be opened from the inside. The armour consisted of 12mm chromium-nickel stainless steel plates built on a chassis of 7mm armour plate. Most of the surviving vehicles were thought to have been converted to SdKfz 3 in the 1930s but at least one survived to be destroyed in the grounds of the Reichstag during the fall of berlin in 1945."

I saw this on the Copplestone site earlier. It's a beautiful model. I need another armored car like a proverbial extra hole in my head :-) I must have every 28mm compatible armored car currently in production for my VBCW collection, half of them are not made yet. Do I need this one? Maybe for my German volunteer troops fighting for the BUF. I bought it! |
