This
Dragon 1/72 Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. C is a
plastic model kit in the
Dragon 1/72 Military Plastic Models range.
The Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track was an armoured fighting vehicle built by Germany during World War II.
There were four main models, 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).
