To have a Sd.Kfz. 251 in 1/32 scale was key to be able to build Petite Infanterie Panzer divisions. Having built mostly Panzer III and IV, we clearly needed armored vehicules for our panzergrenadiers.
Like mentioned in
Wikipedia:
"The Sd.Kfz. 251 (
Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251)
half-track was a WW2 German
armored fighting vehicle designed by the
Hanomag company, based on their earlier, unarmored
Sd.Kfz. 11 vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251 was designed to transport the
panzergrenadiers (German
mechanized infantry) into battle. Sd.Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with at least 15,252 vehicles and variants produced by various manufacturers, and were commonly referred to
simply as "
Hanomags" by both German and Allied soldiers.

The front show the latest model without bumper.

| Two colors were used: Grey Panzer and Panzer night blue |

| Our Sd.Kfz. 251 at 1/32 scale can carry around 6 men; a little less than the real one |
That's all folk!
Shall a mold be made and resin copies produced?
ReplyDeleteI never though about it. I have no expertise in molding but why not?
