SdKfz 250/8 NEU 7.5cm K.51 L/24 Gun
Manufacture Product Number : DML-6425 | Although it didn’t appear in the same numbers as the more common SdKfz 251, the SdKfz 250 halftrack played a vital part in the German World War II war effort. Similar in appearance to its larger stable mate, the SdKfz 250 was based on the chassis of the SdKfz 10 prime mover. Although the design was accepted in 1939, delays meant it didn’t go into production until June 1941. The armored body of this halftrack was complex, so a version with a simplified body went into production in October 1943 as the neue art ("new version"). It is this “Neu" version that is represented in Dragon’s latest 1/35 scale kit.This new Premium Edition kit features an SdKfz 250/8 Neu. It is based on Dragon’s latest SdKfz 250/1 that sported a number of completely new and upgraded components. The 250/8 was a support version featuring a 7.5cm gun that was issued to reconnaissance companies. The kit portrays the 7.5cm K.51 L/24 gun, which was the final version of the weapon installed on a unified mount in this halftrack. The gun is represented in amazing detail from the rifled barrel to the basket for spent ammo casings. To further improve the kit, the side armor is thinly made to accurately portray the true thickness of the armor plates. As a Premium Edition item, this SdKfz 250/8 is highly detailed and easy to assemble. For modelers who like German halftracks, this up-to-date example will provide a powerful punch! Main features include correct basket for spent ammo rounds, 7.92mm MG42 made to Gen2 standard, MG34 included as option, slide molded gun-sight periscope made from clear part, one-piece slide molded lower hull, suspension system for SdKfz 250, highly detailed sprocket mounts that are separate parts, road wheels with precise detail, Magic Tracks for ease of assembly, two types of front wheels, storage box doors that can be assembled open or closed, and new Cartograf decal. |
