Etched parts for
Sd.Kfz.2 Kettenkrad
& PaK 3,7cm
(S-Model)

This PE set is meant for S-Model kit 720087 and as that kit contains two complete Kettenkräder and two Panzerabwehrkanonen, the set contain all hat is needed to cover them all. The set allows the modeler to improve almost all areas of the Kettenkrad, and even includes the small NSU plates (with readable inscription) to go on the front of the body. A small transparency is provided for the dashboard. The only thing that still seems necessary when upgrading the Kettenkrad is the front suspension as done on the third model here. Something that needs to be pointed out is that the PE handrails are completely open, which would not be correct for the S-Model kit, unless the modeler also increases the diameter of the holes in the roadwheels and turn the model into a proper M1 type (whereas the S-Model kit, out of the box, is an S1).

For the Pak most of the parts will go into the shield and the protective plate to the side of the breech.

In my opinion it would be nice if Hauler also released a set for S-Model 720080 (the stand-alone Kettenkrad) and 720088 (the Kettenkrad with the Püppchen), but for the time being, I'll be happy to try this set out on the set that it was designed for.
