Features
Dragon has released a fair number of Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks in its
1/72 scale range. However, among the ranks there has never been an
Sd.Kfz.251/22 variant up till now. This particular halftrack version
mounted a 7.5cm PaK 40 L/46 antitank gun, and it was the last major
variant to be built in this famous halftrack family. As Germany
desperately sought weapons to counter the onslaught of Russian and
Allied tanks, one expedient was to mount this potent antitank cannon on
Ausf.D halftracks, with conversions beginning in December 1944.
Dragon’s new 1/72 kit is based on the existing high-quality
Sd.Kfz.251 chassis, with all the necessary alterations enabling it to
mount the 7.5cm cannon. The vehicle features a completely new gun
mount, and details on the PaK 40 are delicately and accurately
rendered. Additional details such as ammo cases are also supplied to
populate the interior of this open-topped fighting vehicle. The Sd.Kfz.
251 has always been a popular subject amongst modelers, and this most
powerful and lethal variant of all will ensure it packs a punch and is
an instant hit with modelers!
