Sd.Kfz 250/1 was a reconnaissance and transport unit mainly used by scout and HQ units. The vehicle was a shortened version of the popular Sd.Kfz 251 Hanomag series, and like its longer cousin, there were many variants that fulfilled different roles, such as cable, ammunition, and radio carriers, among others. It carried six men including the driver and co-driver and was armed with two pintle-mounted MG34 machine guns, one shielded forward-facing and the other covering the rear and air.
This model is based on the original 'Alt' (old) version, which served throughout World War II with Germany's forces in all theaters as well as with their Romanian allies.
There are enough parts to build one of the following versions:
Sd.Kfz 250/1 - The standard version of this armored half-track.
Sd.Kfz 250/3 - Command variant equipped with a radio antenna frame, used by Rommel as his personal command vehicle, Greif (Griffon).
Sd.kfz 250/10 - The platoon leader's half-track where the forward-mounted machine gun is replaced by a 3.7cm PaK 35/36 anti-tank gun.
It also includes crew miniatures with separate heads wearing either standard or winter uniforms as well as a figure depicting Field Marshal Erwin Rommel!
Note: All miniatures are unpainted and unassembled
