Description
Discover the iconic Sd.Kfz.251, a medium-sized armored personnel carrier that revolutionized infantry support in 1937. Developed by Hannomark in Germany, this remarkable vehicle was based on a 3-ton half-track, designed to keep pace with tank units across the battlefield. The Sd.Kfz.251 series boasts two main variants: the early models A to C, which commenced production in June 1939, and the later Type D model, introduced in September 1943 with a streamlined design to expedite manufacturing during the war's demanding conditions. While the A to C models were intricately crafted, the D model emerged as a more cost-effective solution, significantly reducing the use of common parts with its predecessor to just 50%, thereby facilitating mass production to meet the surging wartime demand.
The Sd.Kfz.251/1 variant stands out as a formidable armored personnel carrier, equipped to transport ten infantry squads. It features a 7.92mm armament that can be mounted on a mantlet in the front, and a machine gun mount at the rear, ensuring comprehensive firepower support. The model boasts a detailed representation of the vehicle's operational components, including a movable crawler, a fully reproduced engine with an openable hood, and accessible compartments with doors and lids that can be opened or closed at will. This kit is meticulously crafted to showcase the intricate piping systems, including brake lines, fuel hoses, coolant hoses, radiators, and exhaust systems, bringing an unparalleled level of realism to your collection.
