The Sd.Kfz. 234 series was a family of German eight-wheeled armoured cars used during World War II. These vehicles were powered by a Tatra V12 diesel engine, providing excellent mobility and a range of up to 1,000 kilometers. The series included four main variants, each equipped with different armaments tailored to specific battlefield roles. The Sd.Kfz. 234/1 was armed with a 20mm autocannon, the Sd.Kfz. 234/2 'Puma' with a 50mm gun, the Sd.Kfz. 234/3 with a 75mm howitzer for infantry support, and the Sd.Kfz. 234/4 with a 75mm anti-tank gun.

The Sd.Kfz.234/2 with 'Luchs' Turret was a rare beast: later in the war, with their fortunes declining, Germany sometimes produced odd variants of existing platforms - apparently using whatever bits they had to hand - and this was one such machine. It is unknown how many were produced, but it could be as few as one; the only confirmed photograph being taken later in the war when one of these oddities surrendered to the Americans in Czechoslovakia.

MiniArt's 1/35 scale model kit enables you to precisely recreate this unusual vehicle, complete with fantastic interior detailing; hatches can be built open or closed, the engine, transmission, and both drivers' positions are included. Turret interior detail is extensive, and PE parts are included for maximised precision and accuracy.
