Sd.Kfz 250 Alte (Options for 250/1, 250/4 & 250/7)

The Sd.Kfz 250/1 was a reconnaissance and transport half-track, mainly used by scout and HQ units. The vehicle was a shortened version of the ubiquitous Sd.Kfz 251 Hanomag series, and much like its longer cousin, many variants existed to fulfil various duties, such as cable-layers, munition carriers and radio carriers amongst others. The vehicle could seat six men including driver and co-driver, and was armed with twin MG34 machine guns, one forward-facing and the other covering the rear and air.

The model included in this set is based on the original “Alte” (old) version, which served throughout World War II, even though the “Neue” (new) version was introduced from late 1943 onwards.

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

• Sd.Kfz 250/1 – the standard version of this armoured halftrack.
• Sd.Kfz 250/4 – a prototype anti-aircraft variant, armed with twin MG34s, that never entered full production.
• Sd.Kfz 250/7 – a variant carrying an 8.1cm mortar for rapid deployment of infantry support weapons.

Contains one plastic Sd.Kfz 250 (Alte) half-track, Bolt Action stat cards, a full-colour waterslide decal sheet, assembly and painting instructions and vehicle damage markers.

Models supplied unassembled and unpainted.
