Dragon has released a fair number of Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks in its 1/72 scale
range. However, among the ranks there has never been an Sd.Kfz.251/22 variant
up till now. This particular halftrack version mounted a 7.5cm PaK 40 L/46 antitank
gun, and it was the last major variant to be built in this famous halftrack
family. As Germany desperately sought weapons to counter the onslaught of Russian
and Allied tanks, one expedient was to mount this potent antitank cannon on
Ausf.D halftracks, with conversions beginning in December 1944.
Dragon’s new 1/72 kit is based on the existing high-quality Sd.Kfz.251 chassis,
with all the necessary alterations enabling it to mount the 7.5cm cannon. The
vehicle features a completely new gun mount, and details on the PaK 40 are delicately
and accurately rendered. Additional details such as ammo cases are also supplied
to populate the interior of this open-topped fighting vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251
has always been a popular subject amongst modelers, and this most powerful and
lethal variant of all will ensure it packs a punch and is an instant hit with
modelers!
