German Hanomag Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Halftrack

The original Hanomag was the mainstay of German transport and modifications for many roles. I chose the first of the series for a diorama incorporating the Italeri Smoke Projector or infamous Nebelwerfer which was a very potent weapon used against the Allies. Crew served by Tamiya figures from the 75mm Anti Tank Gun set I was able to re-create a loading scene and the Hanomag as the vehicle to tow and supply the Nebelwerfer. As with the 251/9 and other 251 variants the tracks and road wheels go together quite well when you follow the sequence in the directions. This kit has been re-issued over time as far back as I can remember and along with over 50 military models finds its home.
