Tamiya 35195 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D Advanced Scale Kit  [35195]

What the Tamiya 35195 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D Represents

The Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D was a key part of German armoured formations during World War II, functioning as a half-track personnel carrier. Tamiya's 35195 kit captures the Ausf. D form introduced in 1943, a version refined for simpler mass manufacture. The operational vehicle ran on a Maybach HL42 six-cylinder engine, reached up to 53 km/h and could cover roughly 300 km. It typically mounted two MG42 machine guns and carried about twelve soldiers.

The kit's flexible tracks and steerable front wheels enhance motion realism. It is a solid project for those wanting an accurate mid-war armoured vehicle model for display or study.

Display and Collection Value

The model adds credible display value to a military collection, offering options for customisation and scene building. Included are several accessories and weapons plus three lifelike figures to populate your diorama.
