The Sd.Kfz. 250/1 Ausf. A (Special Purpose Vehicle 250/1 Version A) was a light armored half-track used by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. It was part of the Sd.Kfz. 250 vehicle family and was characterized in the Ausf. A version by its sloped armor plates, offering additional protection against enemy fire.
The vehicle was primarily used for transporting small infantry groups, reconnaissance missions, or as a towing vehicle for light artillery. It could carry two crew members and up to four infantrymen. Equipped with a Maybach HL 42 TRKM engine, it achieved a top speed of about 60 km/h. Its armament usually consisted of one or two MG 34 or MG 42 machine guns, effective against enemy infantry and lightly armored vehicles.
Its light weight, tracks for off-road terrain, and relatively high mobility made the Sd.Kfz. 250/1 a valuable asset to German forces, particularly in armored reconnaissance and mechanized infantry divisions.
Highly detailed static plastic model kit with workable tracks and detailed running gear with torsion bar suspension like the original. With full interior, including detailed engine with openable engine cover plates. Includes 4 marking options and a driver figure.
