The Sd. Kfz. 251 halftrack was a highly successful design, with a bewildering
array of variants produced during WWII. The 251/10, for example, was a halftrack
equipped with a 3.7cm PaK 36 antitank gun. This small-caliber weapon designed
by Rheinmetall first appeared in 1936, but by the time WWII broke out it was
outdated and ineffective against more heavily armored enemy tanks. Thus, a number
of these “door knockers” (as the gun was sometimes nicknamed by German troops)
were mounted on the hull superstructure of some German halftracks to provide
light and mobile anti-armor support.
Dragon Armor has released a 1/72 scale model of one such vehicle. This Sd.Kfz.251/10
Ausf. C is the first example of this particular variant in the Dragon Armor
range, and it features a metal chassis for added durability. The 3.7cm PaK is
delicate and well rendered. This sophisticated vehicle is the perfect companion
to the standard Sd.Kfz.251/1 half-tracks that have been released previously,
and collectors can add extra firepower to their half-track unit.
