Item Number: WH002A
Following a Heer requirement for a new armoured reconnaissance vehicle that could make use of the outdated 38T chassis, the SdKfz 140/1 was born. Just over 100 were made in 1944 before production was ceased in favour of the SdKfz 234 Puma series.
Armed with a 2cm KwK 38 L55 cannon, the SdKfz 140/1 was well liked by its crews. As the tide of war turned against the Germans, the need for such light tanks was soon becoming obsolete. However, as with all vehicles left in the German inventory, these tanks were sued right up until the end of the war.
Please note: no crew figure is included, although SS047 pictured with the tank does look very nice as an accompanying piece.
RETIRED.
