Are the body shapes of the 221/223 the same as the 222? :thinking:

Apparently they are very close, if not the same.

“The Sd.Kfz.221, 222 and 223 were three versions based on the same 1936 design of four wheel drive scout armored vehicle for the recce companies.”

While they may look similar, the body of the 221 is completely different from the 222 & 223 (which used the same body). Notice that the 221 does not have step in the rear engine deck area, the angles and shapes of the body plates are completely different, etc.

Thanks, hopefully they do other storage sets for the four wheel family.
