Rye Field Model 5134 Sd.Kfz. 234/3 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 7.5cm Stummel 1/35

Rye Field Model 5134 is an exceptionally detailed plastic model kit that replicates the German armored car Sd.Kfz. 234/3 in 1/35 scale. This model perfectly captures the characteristics of one of the most interesting reconnaissance vehicles of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS from World War II, used between 1944 and 1945 on all European fronts. The Sd.Kfz. 234/3 vehicle, equipped with a short-barreled 7.5 cm K51 L/24 cannon (“Stummel”), provided fire support for reconnaissance and infantry units, and thanks to its 8x8 drive, stood out with excellent mobility even in difficult terrain.

The Rye Field Model kit impresses with its quality of details – the vehicle’s surface, rivets, textures, suspension, and drivetrain details are rendered with the highest precision. The fully reproduced 8x8 chassis includes a detailed suspension and transmission system, allowing modelers to explore the advanced technical design of this class of armored vehicles. The fighting compartment is replicated with realistic ammunition racks, an open superstructure, and a richly detailed interior, recreating the combat conditions of the crew. The set is complemented by optional external equipment items: boxes, tools, tow cables, an MG 42 machine gun, and a comprehensive decal sheet enabling the recreation of vehicles from various units and fronts: western, eastern, and Italian.
