The German SdKfz 251 series of halftracks was extremely successful, and it spawned a whole range of specialist variants. One of these was the 251/17, a halftrack mounting a 2cm KwK38 cannon. A mounting on the Ausf. D chassis allowed the single-barreled gun to be fitted without altering the superstructure, and on later versions the cannon was placed in a small armored turret mounted on a pedestal.This 251 kit comes complete with a newly tooled Kwk38. A great addition for the 251 enthusiast. Main features includes completely new tooling of 2cm Kwk38 with detailed pedestal, gun that can elevate as the real thing, one-piece barrel with hollowed out muzzle courtesy of slide molds, highly detailed gun sight unit, removable feed cover for separate ammo magazine, slide-molded ammo magazine that’s highly detailed, operator’s seat that can be positioned at different elevations, three types of gun shields including one-piece slide-molded, bonus photo-etched, and bonus pre-formed metal gun shields, new ammo rack with photo-etched parts, new roof armor plate, convenient ez-tracks, additional individual tracks, brass width indicator rod, photo-etched part for lower hull details, side stowage boxes that can be molded open or closed, clear vision blocks that can be shown in open or closed position, bonus driver, and Cartograf decal sheets with a range of markings and license plates.
