ICM 1:35 Panzerspähwagen P204(f) Model Kit HC-ICM35378

The ICM Panzerspähwagen (Funk) P204(f) - Armoured Command Vehicle, part number HC-ICM35378, is a 1:35 scale plastic model kit of the German command vehicle based on the Panhard 178 armoured car. The original Panhard 178 was designed for cavalry reconnaissance and featured a rear-mounted engine, four-wheel drive and a 25-mm anti-tank gun. Production continued until June 1940, with 527 vehicles manufactured.

Following the defeat of France, around 190 Panhard 178 armoured cars were taken into German service, while further examples were produced for the Wehrmacht in French factories. The vehicle was redesignated Panzerspähwagen P204(f), and some were converted into command vehicles by fitting Hochantenne roof antennas across much of the hull roof. These Funk versions served on the Eastern Front and in occupied France.

This kit represents the command vehicle configuration with a detailed hull and chassis, together with an accurately reproduced interior containing ammunition storage and radio equipment. The parts are supplied on detailed sprues, and the kit includes assembly instructions to guide construction. Decals and colour schemes are provided for three marking options, allowing the finished model to represent different vehicle markings.
