History
The Sd.Kfz.234/2 ‘Puma’ was one of the most advanced reconnaissance vehicles of the Second World War. Built by Germany in limited numbers, it featured an eight-wheeled all-wheel drive system and a powerful 50mm KwK 39/1 L/60 cannon, giving it substantial firepower for a scout vehicle. The Puma’s speed, agility, and sloped armour made it highly effective in both offensive and defensive roles. Often deployed on the Western Front, its reliability and modern design have made it a popular subject among historians and scale modellers alike.
