A detailed plastic model kit including detailed instructions, decals and in some cases other accessories (etchings, resin and others).

The infantry still plays a key role in the battlefield even though tanks have greater firepower -- they are the only arm of the military actually able to occupy and secure the ground. Every advanced Army has invested money to give its infantry mobility, in order to keep up with their comrade tanks. The German Sd.Kfz.251 armored half-track was the ultimate design of its kind of vehicle during the second World War. The Type D was widely deployed from the later half of the war. At first glance, this kit molded in olive drab plastic does not give a sharp impression, especially to eyes accustomed to the recent lighter-colored plastic kits. But this is an illusion; the detail on this kit is superb, especially the running gear mechanism and wheels which are highly detailed even though they cannot be seen without inverting the model. The same level of detail can be found in the interior; visors with vision slots are made with several parts, for realism and accuracy. Even the cushion pads beneath the driver's ceiling have not been forgotton. Two types of bench seats for the squad are included -- leather or wooden. A pair of MG34 and MG42 are included as optional weapons. The tracks are the cementable rubber band type. Five sets of decals included for army and SS units. No figure included. An excellent model kit, giving us reason to anticipate future variations!

This is a lovely gift for diorama builders who want to give their guns and AFVs equipped with longer 8.8cm gun pieces plenty of ammunition! The kit consists of 24-8.8cm ammunitions; 12 spent shell cases; 18 wooden ammo containers; and 18 metal ammo containers, all made of injection plastic. Decals for the stenciled markings on projectiles and containers are included. This set is a nice companion to the 8.8cm PaK43/41 (AFV35059), Hornisse (DRA6165), Nashorn (DRA6166), Ferdinand (DRA6133), Elefant (DRA6123), or even to a King Tiger tank (DRA6189, DRA6208, TAM35164, TAM35169) and other similar weapons equipped with this gun.
