Flames of War | German | Sd Kfz 251 Half Tracks | 15mm Plastic Unit

Sd Kfz 251 Half-Tracks (Plastic) (GBX124)
includes five plastic Sd Kfz 251 Half-tracks, four plastic crew sprues, one Decal sheet and eight Unit cards.

Panzergrenadiers were able to support the tanks using armoured Sd Kfz 251 half-tracks or trucks. The armoured half-tracks allowed them to drive onto the battlefield and get in much closer to the action before dismounting.

The Sd Kfz 251/1C half-track served its passengers admirably during Germany's early blitzkrieg campaigns in 1941. Its armour is bullet-proof, allowing them to get in close and support the tanks with infantry assault power.

Far from just a troop transport, the Sd Kfz 251 could be fitted with a 3.7cm gun, a 7.5cm gun, or an 8cm mortar, making it a versatile platform from which a variety of weapons could be used.
