Description

Includes one Aufklärer 38(t) Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle & one Tank Commander figure.

The cessation of Panzer II L production in January 1944 after only 100 vehicles were completed meant that the demand for a fully-tracked reconnaissance was still high within the Wehrmacht.

Aufklärer 38(t) (GE369) With no alternate design ready to go into production Bohemian-Moravian Motor Works (or BMM) stepped in to provide the necessary vehicles by modifying chassis of the Panzer 38(t) that had been returned to workshops for repair.

The conversion process involved removing the tank turret and building up the hull structure before a 2cm Hängelafette 38 turret was fitted. Fifty conversions were completed between February and March 1944 and the resulting vehicles were issued to armored reconnaissance units serving on both the Eastern and Western Front from April 1944.

Miniatures are supplied unpainted and may require assembly.
