## Description

In 1938, the German Army decided to develop an armored personnel carrier on the basis of the 3-ton half track (HL-KL-9p). Hanomag Hannoversch Machinenbau (AG) in Hannover was ordered to develop the running gear and Bussing-NAG in Berlin was to develop the superstructure to be armored. Design work was hastened on the model of existing armored cars and a prototype was completed at the end of 1938. The Germans tested the prototype in the Kumahsdorf Proving Ground and accepted it for mass production. Thus was born the Armored Personnel Carrier Hanomag Sdkfz 251/1 which, we may safely say, was a synonym for the German mechanized corps that showed activity in all battlefields throughout the war.

Review: A MUST HAVE! - Back as a teen (all those ages and ages ago) I always wanted this kit but never got around to getting it. Three decades later I picked up the hobby again after having my Achilles Tendon surgically reattached to my heel (long story). This one one of the first kits I bought though one I didn't get around to building right away. I should have! It's a quality kit that really is fun to build. It's not as simple a kit as you might think but not so challenging as to become overwhelming. It assembles relatively easily (as long as you don't misread the instructions and assemble the wheels improperly - lost a good day trying to figure THAT one out, lol), and the kit looks great along side the newer, more detailed kits of today. It's almost hard to believe it's been around as long as it has. When assembled properly the front wheels roll and turn side to side as if being steered, and the tracks roll on the wheels a little which I find is a neat little addition. It allowed me to create track marks in the "mud" VERY easily! My only criticism - and it's simply me being picky, is I would have liked the option of adding a driver. The soldiers provided are great (I think they're a subset of the German Assault Troops kit made by Tamiya), but a driver would have offered some options other than deploying for battle. Having said that, I found a kit on here from Dragon that has 4 figures including a gunner, driver, assistant driver, and fellow with binocs specifically designed for a halftrack like this one! A FABULOUS addition to the soldiers already provided! Whether you're an old hand at military modeling or just getting started you can't go wrong by having this kit in your collection if it isn't already. Even if it IS, can you REALLY have TOO MANY halftracks??
Review: Great model - I loved putting it together

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will the German 88mm flak gun attach to the back**
A: The SdKfz 251 has a tow pintle that the towed 88 mm FLAK gun can attach to.  The most common prime mover for a towed 88 was the SdKfz 7 half track.  Larger, more power, and carried more troops and cargo than the SdKfz 251.  Tamiya makes a very nice SdKfz 7 kit......

**Q: What version(Ausf.) does this represent?**
A: The Tamiya kit is an Sd.Kfz. 251/1 - Schützenpanzerwagen. Standard personnel carrier.

**Q: How many pieces in this kit, give/take the 5 figures?**
A: This is a classic Tamiya kit from 1973 and includes about 80 pieces including the two vinyl tracks. The four pages of instructions are clearly illustrated and easy to follow. Assembly is easy, so take your time and enjoy the effort.

**Q: Hi what is the length, width and height of the model?**
A: The SdKfz 251 is about 7 inches long, 2 3/8 inches wide, and about 2 inches high to the top of the hull.  The machine gun and shield add about another half inch to that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great model
*by H***M on November 1, 2025*

I loved putting it together

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just pay attention to the instructions.
*by D***8 on September 15, 2025*

Simple easy kit to build. Instructions are clear. Just pay attention how the axels and wheels go on the track portion. Not historically accurate as far as the interior goes but a nice kit overall.
