Tamiya 1:35 Sd.Kfz.251/9 Kanonenwagen

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of German half-track in 1:35 scale.

The main transport vehicle of armored grenadier was half-tracked Sd.Kfz. 251. In 1942, appeared a concept of arming some vehicles with direct artillery support weapon. Panzer IV tanks and assault guns StuG were rearmed at the same time, so new construction got their 75 mm guns. Cannons were mounted at the front of the vehicle on its right side, couch was removed from a transportation compartment, in order to make space for ammunition (52 shells). That’s how „Stummel” was created. It had limited transportation possibilities in relation to the standard model Sd.Kfz. 251, but it significantly increased a firepower of mechanized division.

Set from Tamiya Company allows assembly of the model of German armored half-tracked transporter Mtl. SPW. Sd.Kfz. 251/9 Ausf. D (7,5 cm KwK 37 L/24) Kanonenwagen Stummel, together with its crewman. Kit includes 4 sprues with vehicle elements, rubber tracks, and decals (allow to recreate vehicle from 2., 12., or 24. armored divisions).

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
