The six-wheeled armoured reconnaissance vehicles Sd.kfz. 231, 232 and 263 from Büssing, Daimler-Benz and Magirus are the subject of Issue 48 of Nuts & Bolts.

After dealing exhaustively with the Büssing eight-wheelers of the GS series in Vol. 36 and 37 and with the Büssing TP series in Vol. 40, and after the small armoured reconnaissance vehicles had been revised in Vol. 47, the last model to be dealt with was the series of the six-wheeled armoured reconnaissance vehicles. 

Due to the small number of vehicles, the search for material proved to be very difficult. But after twelve years of intensive searching and with the help of countless friends, the collection grew larger and larger and Nuts & Bolts announce issue 48 for the end of October 2023. 

The six-wheeled armoured reconnaissance vehicles Sd.kfz. 231, 232 and 263 from Büssing, Daimler-Benz and Magirus.  Available at the familiar unchanged price from the end of October 2023 from Nuts & Bolts website.
