After the release of the Puma it was obvious that Hasegawa were going to releas other variants on the same chassis. This is the reconaisance varint mounting a 2cm gun in a turret. The kit is exactly the same as the Puma with all the same faults The new part for this kit is the turret, which is nicly moulded and slightly more detaild than the same turret mounted in the UM kit of the SdKfz 140/1 the gun is reproduced better in the Hasegawa kit bit would still benefit from an aftermarket barrel. The main disappointment are the anti grenade screens, moulded solid in the kit and could definately benefit for so PE.
