“Wz. 28” - the armored car

Armored car “Wz. 28” designed in Poland on a French semi-tracked “Citroen – Kegresse” B2 10CV base with “Kegresse” P4T tracks. Starting in 1924, 135 "Citroen - Kegresse B2 - 10CV" chassis were purchased and it was decided to use 90 of them for the production of armored cars. The rest were used to produce special purpose trucks. In 1928 a new armored car was accepted into the arsenal and received the designation “Wz. 28”. At the end of 1929 an improved hull with a sloping rear wall was constructed. After several years of service, it became clear, that the semi-tracked chassis did not meet all the requirements and in 1933 it was decided to rework the “Wz. 28” to full wheeled armored cars. This is how “Wz. 28” came about version “Wz. 34”. By the start of World War II, it is believed, that only 87 cars were converted. The remaining 3 former Modlin Armored Weapons Training Center were combined into an improvised armored squad, led by Lieutenant Feliks Uszczinski. The last of them was destroyed in a battle with Ukrainian nationalists near Nadworna, when a Polish column tried to break into Hungary. A medium-complexity, excellent graphically and structurally designed model, which depicts the car in the so-called "Japanese" camouflage, adopted in Poland in 1932.

The model comes with full combat compartment but no engine detailing and is intended for modellers of all experience, but beginners are recommended to work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and without internal equipment - just the chassis is enough.
