Italeri 1/35 Sdkfz 234 3 Armored Car Model Kit

The Sd.Kfz.234/3 mounted the short-barreled 75mm K51 gun in an open-topped superstructure on the powerful eight-wheeled 234 chassis, providing heavy reconnaissance units with close infantry support firepower. Produced in limited numbers from mid-1944, it served alongside the better-known Puma variant in Panzer reconnaissance battalions on both Eastern and Western Fronts. Italeri's 1/35 kit features the open fighting compartment with detailed gun mount and the complex eight-wheel drivetrain.
