The Subject: The Sd.Kfz. 234/4 “Puma” Schwerer Panzerspahwagen

The s.Pz.Sp.Wg. (7,5 cm) Sd.Kfz.234/4 (full name:

Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 7.5 cm Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234/4 Panzerabwehrkanonenwagen) was a relatively improvised variant on the Sd.Kfz.234 chassis. An eight wheeled armoured car with a 7.5 PaK – Panzerabwehrkanone or anti-tank gun. Schwerer Panzerspahwagen is German for heavy armoured scout car. These Sd.Kfz.234 Special Purpose Vehicles came in four variations: – 2cm Autocannon

– 5cm Gun and 1 MG42 nicknamed Puma

– 2,5cm Gun

– 2,5cm PaK (Panzerabwehrkanone)

– This 7.5cm Gun Version was created late 1944 in order to prevent guns such as the PaK40 By removing the superstructure of the Sd.Kfz.234 and installing a PaK 40 mount with a small cut in the bottom half of the shield, the gun could roll into position, take shots, and drive at full speed in reverse.

The 234/4, 7.5cm PaK was characterized by a high standard of construction quality that offered mobility (the 234 could reach a maximum speed of 85 km/h on the road), limited protection, and offensive capability in the hard hitting 7.5cm gun. The powerful 75mm KwK-40 gun was able to penetrate the armor of enemy vehicles. The gun was mounted in a fixed location in the middle of the combat chamber “open air”.

However, with the weight of this gun, the 234 chassis was stretched to its limits. The variants were manufactured between the end 1944 and the end 1945 of the hostilities. The 234/4 was surrendered by the U.S. to the IV Panzer Corps of Czechoslovakia. The kit is a high-detail model of the Sd.Kfz. The chassis of the 234/4 Schwerer panzerspahwagen is mounted with a 7.55 cm cannon. This kit comes with a complete interior that includes all the parts needed to build the kit’s insides.

The full engine as supplied kits in this series have the 14,825 cc (905 in3) Tatra 103 V12 diesel with 157 kW (211 hp) – it is a big engine, and with a lot of ignition and wiring harnesses, you can see that MiniArt has supplied all of this inside the box.

As with any recon and light fighting vehicle, the radio and RT gear is all included. Photo-eth covers the extra fuel tanks to provide scale thickness to these straps.
