About the Sd.Kfz. 251:
The Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track was an armoured fighting vehicle built by Germany during World War II.

There were four main models (A - D), with many variants. The initial idea was for a vehicle that could be used to transport a squad of troops to the battlefield protected from enemy fire. The open top meant that the crew was still vulnerable.

The first 2 models were produced in small numbers. The C variant had a larger production run, but was a quite complex vehicle to build, involving many angled plates that gave reasonable protection from small arms fire. The D version utilised a much simpler design, and can be easily recognised by its single piece sloping rear (with flat doors).

Paints and Glue are not included, requires assembly. Plastic Model Kit Manufactured By Dragon Models, detailed building instruction is included with this model kit. For age 10 and up, moderate difficulty.
