Panzer Art RE35-417 5cm KwK39 gun with canvas cover for Sd.Kfz 234/2 1/35

The Panzer Art RE35-417 upgrade set is a unique addition dedicated to modelers building the German armored vehicle Sd.Kfz 234/2 Puma in 1/35 scale. This product is a highly detailed replica of the 5 cm KwK39 gun barrel, complete with a realistic canvas cover faithfully recreated from archival photographs of the vehicle from World War II. The components are made from high-quality resin, offering exceptionally crisp and realistic details that far surpass standard plastic parts found in basic kits.

The Sd.Kfz. 234/2 Puma was a German eight-wheeled armored car primarily used by Wehrmacht reconnaissance units on both the Eastern and Western fronts between 1943 and 1945, during World War II. It was distinguished by its high mobility and characteristic turret armed with the 5 cm KwK39 gun, providing effective self-defense against enemy vehicles. These vehicles saw action in, among others, Normandy, Belgium, and the Soviet Union.

The gun barrel and canvas cover presented here are made using resin casting, ensuring high production precision and fidelity to details. Each element is carefully replicated, preserving the realistic texture of the canvas, stitching, and fastenings. The set does not include plastic parts, metal, or photo-etched components; however, the use of resin allows for a premium effect, especially sought after by advanced modelers.
