SdKfz 250/9 & 251/23 Autocannon Expansion Set - 1:56 scale (28mm) Wargame Plastic Kit

Expansion kit to convert your existing WWII German armoured personnel carrier into a mobile half track armoured gun placement with a 20 mm cannon.

When added to one of our recommended base kits, this conversion kit will build an SdKfz 250/9 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen. The SdKfz 250/9 was a standard reconnaissance variant. Introduced in March 1942, 30 units were ordered and sent to Russia to replace armoured cars in the reconnaissance role, armed with a 2cm KwK 38 autocannon and a coaxial MG (MG34 or MG32) in a low, open-topped turret identical to that of the SdKfz 222 armoured car. When the SdKfz 250/1 Alte was replaced with the newer SdKfz 250/1 Neu, the SdKfz 250/9 received a Hängelafette 38 and FuG 12 radio upgrade. After successful operations, mass production started in May 1943.

SdKfz 251/23 Hängelafette 38 auf Mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagen (2cm) is a reconnaissance variant intended to replace the SdKfz 250/9 and fitted with the same turret mounting as the SdKfz 234/1 armoured car housing a QF 2cm autocannon.
