1:35 Dragon 6516 Sd.Kfz.251/9 Ausf.D with 7.5 cm Kanone 37 WWII - German Armoured Personnel Carrier Plastic Model kit

Build a distinctive German armoured infantry vehicle from the Second World War with the 1:35 Dragon 6516 Sd.Kfz.251/9 Ausf.D with 7.5cm Kanone 37. The Sd.Kfz.251 was a medium half-track extensively used by the German armed forces. The /9 variant stood out through its short-barrelled 75mm gun, making it an interesting subject for a German WWII vehicle collection or military diorama.

The Sd.Kfz.251 was developed as a new and relatively simple half-track transport based on the heavy Sd.Kfz.11 tractor. Its design incorporated changes including a new fuel tank and redesigned steering and exhaust systems. The first prototypes appeared in 1935, and approximately 14,500 vehicles were produced between 1939 and 1945. The half-track was powered by a six-cylinder Maybach HL 42 TURKM engine producing 100hp. Four basic versions, the Ausf. A, B, C and D, were produced alongside more than twenty specialised variants.

These variants included the Sd.Kfz.251/1 with two MG34 or MG42 machine guns and capacity for up to ten troops, the /2 with an 80mm mortar, the /3 for radio and communications duties, the /16 with two flamethrowers and the /20 UHU with infrared equipment for night operations. In 1942, the Sd.Kfz.251/9 Stummel appeared with a short-barrelled 75mm StuK 37 gun. The Sd.Kfz.251 family served primarily with German Panzer divisions and Panzergrenadiers and saw action from Poland and France to the Balkans, North Africa and the Eastern and Western Fronts. Dragon 6516 therefore gives you a distinctive variant from this versatile half-track family, with fast delivery and excellent customer service from Most-Models.com.
