Description

To provide a mobile antitank capability, the 2.8cm Panzerbüchse 41 was sometimes mounted on halftracks. The 2.8cm sPzB 41 was officially a heavy antitank rifle, but its characteristics were actually closer to those of a light antitank gun. Production of this weapon took place from 1941 onwards, but manufacture was discontinued in 1943 due to a lack of tungsten for the projectiles that were fired at very high velocities. This latest addition to the Sd.Kfz. 251 range offers modelers even greater options. It utilizes accurate and well-detailed components from previous Sd.Kfz. 251 kits, as well as the antitank weapon that is a completely new tooling possessing a sophisticated level of finesse. This 1/72 Pionierpanzerwagen kit pioneers new opportunities for modelers!
