About the Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 (Sd.Kfz. 251)
The idea behind the Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 (Sd.Kfz. 251) was to provide mobility
to infantry squads as part of combined arms operations with Germany’s mighty
panzers. The well-sloped armored hull of the Sd.Kfz. 251 went some way to providing
protection against small-arms fire, though the open-topped troop compartment
meant occupants were still vulnerable to artillery and shell bursts. There were
many versions of the Sd.Kfz. 251 produced for specialized purposes, one of which
included the Sd.Kfz. 251/10. This specific variant mounted a 3.7cm PaK 36 antitank
cannon. Such vehicles were issued to platoon commanders and provided a limited
antitank capability.
Dragon has released an excellent 1/72 scale Sd.Kfz. 251/10. The vehicle is
based on an Ausf. D hull, which was the final production version featuring a
simplified structural shape. This particular model builds on the successful
and high-quality series of 251 halftracks already released by Dragon. Detail
on this kit is astonishing, with all elements carefully reproduced. This is
especially important in this vehicle with the open interior of the troop compartment.
The 3.7cm PaK 36 is also supplied in full detail. For extra support and firepower,
this halftrack from Dragon is the weapon of choice!
