Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can find information on the dimensions of a 222 scout car.
Drake, A good start would be the Osprey Military book entitled, "German Armoured Cars and Reconnaissance Half-Tracks 1939-1945." Or you could just borrow it from me the next time you see me. A second good source would be the 116th Panzerdivision's website: http://www.116panzer.com/ and ask them. They reproduced one for themselves that I saw at Camp Atterbury last year. Langemann
Checking the net for info... http://www.wwiivehicles.com/html/germany/sdKfz222.html Leichte Panzerspähwagen (2cm) (SdKfz 222): SdKfz 222 was a modified version of the SdKfz 221 with a larger turret. There were 7 series. The 1st 5 series had the sPkw I Horch 801 chassis with the 3.5 liter engine. In May 1942, the sPkw I Type V chassis with the 3.8 liter engine. Early models had an anti-grenade screen on top of the turret. Late models had a redesigned turret which allowed the 20 mm and MG to be elevated almost vertically. http://www.milvehtechfound.com/current/222.html http://www.panzernet.com/concurso/concurso8.html http://www.panzernet.com/galeria/sdkfz222js/sdkfz222js.htm http://www.geocities.com/hohenn/photo2.html http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/german/tc222.htm http://wilk.wpk.p.lodz.pl/~whatfor/sdkfz_222.htm Two captured German Sdkfz 222 armoured cars, in service with an RAF Regiment squadron in the Middle East in WW2
