Back to Modeling the Sd.Kfz. 234 in 1/72nd Scale
There are a couple of
wartime photographs that show unusual variants of the
Sd.Kfz 234. Specifically, there is one that mounts a
small 3.7cm FlaK Schwebelafette turret in an open
fighting compartment, and a single photo of a 234 chassis
mounted with the turret from a Panzer II L Luchs. It is
believed that these two vehicles were one-offs, or field
conversions, rather than prototype vehicles, though there
is nothing known about them for certain, so speculation
remains. There apparently were also plans to build 234s
with a variety of anti-aircraft turrets, and with other
armament options, though it's believed that none of these
ever saw prototype development.

Conversion set for Hasegawa.
Includes gun turret and armored side plates for
hull compartment. References state that this
should be a 3.7cm gun, not 2.0cm. I don't know if
only the kit name is wrong, or if the parts are
actually for a 2.0cm gun. |
