The real subject

The Skoda PA-II was an armored car design of the 1920s following on from the older PA-I type. Its armored hull had an unusually rounded shape, which was a rarity at the time and gave better resistance to bullets. The vehicle was symmetrical with driving positions at both ends, so it could reverse just as well as drive forward. Only a few examples were built; some of them later served with police forces.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts off the sprues and glue them with a liquid model cement for plastic, then sand the joints. On a vehicle with a markedly rounded hull, take care that the body parts meet cleanly. Paint and accent the chassis and any interior before you close the hull. Apply a gloss coat before the decals; afterwards accent the detail with a wash and add weathering with pigments, as dust and mud effects on the chassis and the lower part of the hull will give the model a realistic look.

  • Modelers with experience of building vehicles in 1:35 scale
  • Those interested in early and unconventional armored car designs
