After purchasing the Azimut-Ironside IR066 4 Rad Spähwagen neue Art, I red an article about the Leichter Panzerspähwagen Tropen 4-Rad in Panzer Tracts 13 Panzerspähwagen. This inspired me to want to build the model from Panzer Tracts 13, but with a detailed interior. When Dragon released the Sd.Kfz. 234/4 mit 7.5cm L/48 (6814), I decided to converse this kit too, to create a 4-Rad Tropen vehicle.
However, the Dragon gun was incorrect, and also because Dragon's Sd.Kfz.234/1 2cm is detailed, but with no doors that can be opened, no batteries, no engine etc., I decided to wait.
After a lengthy search of 2.5 years, I finally found the New Connection Models NC35191 kit with the correct AK7B gun and embarked on this project involving four vehicles. Wanting to create at least two different suspensions, I faced extensive sawing and sanding, which made the work very challenging. Consequently, I set the project aside two years ago.
Now Miniart is coming with great opportunities regarding the Sd.Kfz. 234, and I am determined to complete this project:
Leichter Panzerspaehwagen tropen 4-Rad with 5cm Puma turret (Azimut)
Leichter Panzerspaehwagen tropen 4-Rad with 7,5cm Aufklaererkanone 7B (Dragon)
Leichter Panzerspaehwagen tropen 6-Rad with 8cm Grw 34 or 12cm Granatwerfer 42 Mortar (Italeri/ Dragon Mix)
Leichter Panzerspaehwagen tropen 4-Rad with 2cm KwK 30 L/65 (Miniart Sd.Kfz.234/1 Schwerer Panzerspähwagen Early version)
