The third version of the Jagdpanzer 38(t), carrying a 7.5cm Kanone 51 L/24 gun, will be available in October.
The Vollkettenaufklaerer 38 was originally an effort by Auto-Union to create a tracked reconnaissance vehicle suitable for Eastern Front operations. Auto-Union’s prototypes with an open-topped compartment appeared in early 1944, but they were never pursued. Czech company BMM followed up with its own version of a scout vehicle based on a Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer chassis, with a mockup ready by September 1944. This example based on a modified 38(t) chassis featured a 7.5cm L/24 gun. Also known as the Gerät 564 Pz.Aufklwg.638/12.
The new rendition of the Vollkettenaufklaerer 38 w/7.5cm Kanone 51 L/24 is based on Dragon’s recently released Hetzer-based kits, including their modified wheels and upper hull.
To create this vehicle, the kit incorporates brand new elements such as a retooled fighting compartment with true-to-scale armoured sides. There is a new stowage rack on the front of the hull, and another on the left-hand side of the hull, adjacent to a new antenna base.
On the glacis plate, there is a new driver’s vision port, hatch and headlight. And obviously, the parts to depict the complete 7.5cm 24-caliber Kanone 51 gun.
