Dragon Armor has released a number of Sd.Kfz. 251 halftrack variants in its 1/72 range. These have been popularly received by collectors, so Dragon has provided another interesting version to please fans of this attractive German armored vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251/7 was a vehicle used by combat engineers (also known as pioneers) and so carried bridging sections and engineering equipment such as explosives. The Ausf. D version was the final production version of the Sd.Kfz. 251 series with simplified construction. These elements combine in Dragon Armor’s Item No. 60296.

To make it even more unique, the vehicle also mounts an sPzB 41 antitank gun. This squeeze-bore weapon had a caliber of 2.8cm, with mass production beginning in 1941. It was employed on the Eastern Front since the commencement of Operation Barabarossa, and also saw action in North Africa and Western Europe. The addition of this weapon on the Sd.Kfz. 251 halftrack gave German pioneers a useful antitank capability. The actual model is delivered in a three-color camouflage scheme that has been beautifully rendered in fine stripes. All detail such as the 2.8cm sPzB 41 gun is delicately reproduced, and the open-topped vehicle is accurately manufactured. This halftrack is ready for action…and ready to join a model vehicle collection!
