REF:85010 Scale 1.72 Length 70mm

A superb release from Forces of Valor, features a wealth of detail normally seen on more expensive models. This fine example of a Sd. Kfz. 251 Ausf. D mit Wurfrahmen 40 includes a driver and six rockets.

The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 (SdKfz 251) half-track was an armored fighting vehicle built by Germany during World War II. They were produced throughout the war.
The early production models of this vehicle were issued to the 1st Panzer Division in 1939. There were four main models (A - D), with many variants. The initial idea was for a vehicle that could be used to transport a squad of infantry to the battlefield protected from enemy small arms fire, and with some protection from artillery fire.
Variants were produced for specialized purposes, including anti-aircraft guns, rocket launching (with 3 large rockets fitted on either side of the vehicle) as well as a version with an infra-red search light used to spot potential targets for associated Panther tanks equipped with infrared detectors.
