Aufkl Pz 38(t) Hetzer 7.5cm

The last conversion of the Czech Pz Kpfw 38(t) chassis, the Sd Kfz 140/1 Reconnaissance Tank was developed in February 1944. Initially armed with a 20mm KwK38 gun with a crew of four only 50 were ever manufactured. The superstructure was extended to house the same turret mount as the Sd Kfz 222. The Sd Kfz 140/1-75 was a further variant with the 2cm cannon replaced with a 75mm KwK L/24 gun. Only 2 of the later 75mm versions were made. Production was stopped in favour of the Aufkl Pz38(t) 7.5cm.
