Sd.Kfz.250 (Alte) Half-Track (Options for 250/1, 250/3, 250/10)

The Sd.Kfz 250/1 was a reconnaissance and transport half-track used primarily by scout and HQ units. The vehicle was a shortened version of the ubiquitous Hanomag Sd.Kfz 251 series, and like its longer cousin, many variants were produced performing a variety of roles such as cable layers, ammunition carriers, and radio carriers. It could accommodate a crew of six, including a driver and co-driver, and was armed with two MG34 machine guns, one forward-facing and the other covering the rear and air.

This model is based on the original ‘Alt’ version, which saw service throughout World War II with German forces on all fronts, as well as with their Romanian allies.

There are enough parts to build one of the following versions:

Sd.Kfz 250/1 – the standard version of this armoured half-track.
Sd.Kfz 250/3 – Command variant, fitted with a radio antenna, famously used by Rommel as his personal command vehicle, Greif.
Sd.Kfz 250/10 – Platoon commander’s half-track, with the forward-facing machine gun replaced by a 3.7cm PaK 35/36 anti-tank gun.
Also included are crew figures with separate heads, wearing either regular or winter uniforms, and a figure representing Field Marshal Erwin Rommel!
