The Sd.Kfz. 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was a World War II German armored personnel carrier designed by the Hanomag company, based on its earlier, unarmored Sd.Kfz. 11 vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251 was designed to transport the Panzergrenadier (German mechanized infantry) into battle. Sd.Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with at least 15,252 vehicles and variants produced by seven manufacturers. The utility of this vehicle lead the German Army to develop the similar looking but shorter and lighter Sd.Kfz. 250 as a supplement.
Some sources state that the Sd.Kfz. 251 was commonly referred to simply as "Hanomags" by both German and Allied soldiers after the manufacturer of the vehicle;[1] this has been questioned, and may have been only a postwar label.[2][3] German officers referred to them as SPW (Schützenpanzerwagen, or armored infantry vehicle) in their daily orders and memoirs.
The early production models of this vehicle were issued to the 1st Panzer Division in 1939 as the 'Ausf.A' or 'A-version'. There were 232 estimated Ausf.A units produced, which took place in Hannover's Hanomag, Büssing-NAG of Berlin-Oberschöneweide, Weserhütte of Bad Oeynhausen, Wumag of Görlitz, and F. Schichau shipyard of Elbing facilities.[4]
These vehicles were meant to enable Panzergrenadiere to accompany panzers and provide infantry support as required. In practice, there were never enough of them to go around, and most Panzergrenadier units had to make do with trucks for transport.[5]
In August 1943, Romania acquired a total of 27 armored half-tracks, of both the 251 and 250 types[6] followed in 1944 by 251 type and other types of armored cars to convert two cavalry divisions into armored or mechanized divisions.[7] Sd.Kfz. 251s were known as SPW mijlociu ("medium SPW") in Romanian service, while Sd.Kfz. 250s were referred to as SPW ușor ("light SPW").[8]
The Army of the Independent State of Croatia received 15 Sd.Kfz. 251 in spring 1944 and the Ustashe Militia received 12 in autumn 1944
Awwww sweeeet ... An RC conversion is a must ! 👍
Nice treat. Thanks for the surprise Friday video...
This one will surely keep you busy for a while. Nice looking - I like the winter one too.
Great product review!
Nice model but no motor in it I guess I will be buying the Das Werk one it has a ton of details and a detailed engine in it.
An extremely well designed kit. I really like the detail of the parts. It should build into a very nice model. I’m really surprised it doesn’t come with a couple of figures. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool! Kinda big though. I build a lot of 1 3/5 scale armour.
Just a note, German WWII tank tracks were made from a manganese alloy that were very resistant to rust. Nice video, thanks.
Awesome kit , cool unboxing.
WOW . Big like 👍
WOW, this is awesome. Thank you for sharing
It was funny hearing you refer to that pin as being so tiny and invisible in 1/35 after I built three sets of 1/35 metal tracks recently that used pins half that size.
And nothing against Trumpeter as I have many of their kits, but for the money I am going with Das Werk's kit as the detail blows Trumpeter's release out of the water. Certainly enjoying their 1/16 Pz. III at the moment.
Great looking model ,massive good detailing
It'd be very nice to see how this one builds up given its size, and I agree, some figures would definitely enhance it.
A very nice kit. I'm glad they didn't bother with a detailed engine, as it won't be seen.
That is exquisit. However ya spell it. I am bent on keeping my military models at 1:35 scale but it does seem like more options present themselves at larger scales. To me it's all about how much room you have to display them. In my case, not all that much. Very nice kit though, hafta say.
Silly question, is it possible to build it in 2 pieces so you can get a better look at the interior ?
Call me ignorant what is the conversion of 397 mm to inches.
