¹⁄48

Gaso Line brings us two 1/48 scale updates for the hanomag and a GMC bomb truck conversion too!

Gaso Line has just released three conversion for your 1/48 scale WWII kits. The first is a hanomag flamethrower conversion for the Tamiya 251(TAM32564 or TAM32566). "Fitted with two flame projectors and initially a rear mounted flamethrower on Ausf.C version, detachable but still connected to the vehicle, to be operated by dismounted infantry. This was in addition to the standard forward machine gun mount. Six Sd.Kfz. 251/16 Flammpanzerwagens were authorised for issue to each Panzergrenadier regiment."

Next up is another hanomag conversion this time for the AFV Club kit (AFV48007). "The Sd.Kfz 251/17 was a specialized version for anti- air combat. Put to the test with 2cm Flak gun by the Luftwaffe , several versions were tested. The first version saw the gun base installed on the vehicle structure and due to its size , the walls could be dropped to allow greater mobility of the weapon. The final version was accepted in 1944 for production and saw the turret weapon with reduced movement of 360 ° without requiring the lowering of sides. The vehicle carried 600 rounds for the weapon with a crew of six men to put it into action "

Lastly, but certainly no less cool, is a conversion for the Tamiya GMC (32548). This conversion will allow you to turn your GMC into an M-27 Bomb service truck.
