product description
The Sd.Kfz.234/1 Schwerer Panzerspähwagen, German for armoured reconnaissance vehicle, was the first variant of the 8×8 armoured car designed and built in Germany during World War II. Based on its earlier Sd.Kfz. 231 8-Rad successor, the 234/1 was equipped with a fully rotatable turret, housing a 2 cm KwK 38 autocannon, along with a 7.92mm MG 42 machine gun.
