About product

The real subject

The Sd.Kfz.251 was a German half-track armored personnel carrier of the Second World War, that is a vehicle with wheels at the front and tracks at the rear. The Ausf. D version is the late simplified one with a more angular rear, produced in greater numbers than the earlier variants. Captured vehicles were commonly modified by German units, and the turret of a French Hotchkiss tank seated on the hull of a carrier is just such a case: a transport vehicle became a vehicle with a rotating turret.

What the conversion brings

The set turns the base kit into this less usual modification. In a display case it brings a vehicle that catches the eye at once beside ordinary carriers, and in a diorama it serves well as evidence of what improvised vehicles looked like. The make-up of the parts and the recommended base kit are given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Building and painting tips

Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the traces left by manufacture. Try the parts dry before gluing and even out any play by sanding the mating surfaces. Cyanoacrylate glue holds on resin and on plastic alike, so it will join the conversion parts to the kit. Wash and degrease everything before painting.

  • try the seating of the turret dry, as it decides the look of the whole vehicle
  • sort the small parts out in advance; in 1:72 scale they are easily lost
  • sand the seams left by gluing before you apply the base color
  • paint the rotating turret separately from the hull

Terms of supply
