To provide a mobile antitank capability, the 2.8cm Panzerbu"chse 41 was
sometimes mounted on halftracks. The 2.8cm sPzB 41 was officially a heavy antitank
rifle, but its characteristics were actually closer to those of a light antitank
gun. Production of this weapon took place from 1941 onwards, but manufacture
was discontinued in 1943 due to a lack of tungsten for the projectiles that
were fired at very high velocities. This latest addition to the Sd.Kfz. 251
range offers modelers even greater options. It utilizes accurate and well-detailed
components from previous Sd.Kfz. 251 kits, as well as the antitank weapon that
is a completely new tooling possessing a sophisticated level of finesse. This
1/72 Pionierpanzerwagen kit pioneers new opportunities for modelers!

About This Kit:
Dragon is going to launch an Sd.Kfz. 251/7 Ausf. D armed with a 2.8cm sPzB
41, the first such 1/72 scale kit in the world. This superb model builds on
Dragon’s current range of German halftracks, but it offers something extra special.
The Sd.Kfz. 251/7 was used by combat engineers in Panzerpionier companies, and
it thus carried small assault bridges and specialized equipment such as mines.
