Sd.Kfz 250 (Alte) Plastic Kit
Sd.Kfz 250/1
The Sd.Kfz 250/1 was a reconnaissance and transport half-track mainly used by scout and HQ units. The vehicle was a shortened version of the ubiquitous Sd.Kfz 251 Hanomag series and much like its longer cousin there were many variants fulfilling different roles, such as cable carriers, ammunition carriers and radio carriers, amongst others. It carried six men including the driver and the co-driver and was armed with two pintle-mounted MG34 machineguns, one shielded forward facing and the other covering the rear and air.
This model is based on the original 'Alt' (old) version which served through World War II with the forces of Germany in all theaters as well as with their Romanian allies.
As well as the standard Sd.Kfz 250/1 version (shown above), the new kit contains enough parts to make the following variants, should you so choose:
SD.Kfz 250/9
Enclosed version of the 250 series half-track armored personnel carrier, with a 20mm cannon in the turret, it was used as a half-tracked scout vehicle to replace the wheeled SdKfz 222. Full production began in 1943.
Sd.kfz 250/11
A platoon commander's half-track variant with the forward machinegun replaced by a 2.8cm Panzerbüchse 41 squeezebore anti-tank rifle with co-axial machinegun.
Customisability
The Sd.Kfz 250 series saw service throughout the war in many different theatres – and the kit has you covered with the inclusion of crew figures, with separate head options for both regular and winter uniforms.
