Die cast metal and plastic replica of the Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Hanomag in 1:32nd scale. The Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Hanomag was the first in a series of highly mobile armored German transport vehicles. It embodied the fast pace advances of the blitzkrieg war. Over 15,000 Sd. Kfz. 251 half-track vehicles with many variants were manufactured during WWII and they saw many improvements and changes during the course of the war.
In 1911, the French engineer Adolphe Kégresse converted a number of cars to half-tracks for the Tsar of Russia. The Kégresse track design standardized in 1940 and was widely used for armored personnel carriers, mortar carriers, anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns, artillery tractors and armored fighting vehicles, especially by the Germans and Americans. Regular wheels on the front and caterpillar tracks on the back gave this vehicle the cross-country capabilities of a tank and the handling of a wheeled vehicle. The rear compartment of each model was encapsulated with face-hardened armor plate, which provided little protection above the level of the rifleman's individual weapon.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
