SD.KFZ 251 History:
The Sd.Kfz. 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was a World War II German armored personnel carrier designed by the Hanomag company, based on its earlier, unarmored Sd.Kfz. 11 vehicle. The Sd.Kfz. 251 was designed to transport the Panzergrenadier (German mechanized infantry) into battle. Sd.Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with at least 15,252 vehicles and variants produced by seven manufacturers. Some sources state that the Sd.Kfz. 251 was commonly referred to simply as “Hanomags” by both German and Allied soldiers after the manufacturer of the vehicle; this has been questioned, and may have been only a postwar label. German officers referred to them as SPW (Schützenpanzerwagen, or armored infantry vehicle) in their daily orders and memoirs.

This is a great looking half-track! It seems to be scaled pretty well for figures, however there are a few things you should know about it.
1. Driver seat doesn’t actually accommodate a figure. I had to just use the torso, head, and right arm to get the figure in the driver’s position!
2. More importantly, the floor in the rear is difficult to place figures on. Because of the overall width of the vehicle, you end up with a three-stud width between the benches. So standing a figure back there can be tricky.
Despite these issues, this is a great vehicle. I love the color, the overall look, and the presence this one has!
