Quick question - does anyone know of a source for turned brass 5cm ammo in 1/35 for the 5cm KwK L/60 as used on the Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma armoured car?

TIA,

Cheers,

Chris.

Chris,

Not sure if anyone offers turned brass for the Puma…but the gun it was fitted with wasn’t the KwK L/60, that was the gun fitted to the Pzkpfw III, not the 234/2. While both were 5.0cm, they weren’t the same gun. Not sure if the ammo differed in terms of dimensions of the actual rounds. You might have better luck finding ammo for the Pz III or the PaK 38 if you’re just looking for something to say stock a diorama?

Thanks for that, Bill. I see that Dragon’s 1/35 PaK 38 Premium Edition kit includes two suitable rounds, but at £21.50 for a kit that I wouldn’t otherwise be interested in, that seems an expensive way of going about it. Might have to think about a plan B.

Cheers,

Chris.

Armorscale make a set of rounds for the KwK 39 L/60, but these may be a bit spendy (around $20.00 USD at LuckyModel). there are 9 complete rounds (3x 3 types) and 12 spent cartridge casings. http://www.armorscale.com/products/ammo35/A35-026/

Excellent, Phil! Just what I was looking for. Suitably ordered.

Thanks again,
