Border Model 1/35 Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D with R35 Turret is a detailed model of a unique field modification of a German half-track transporter, on which the turret of a captured French Renault R35 tank was installed. This unusual machine illustrates the improvisation of German troops at the end of World War II. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
The Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D was one of the most widely used German armored personnel carriers, introduced into production in 1943. The D version featured a simplified design, which allowed for faster and cheaper production. This machine was designed to transport infantry and also served as the basis for a number of specialized variants.
In the chaos of the last years of the war, various field modifications of these transports were made, including the installation of turrets from captured tanks. One example is the conversion of the Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D with a turret from the French Renault R35, which provided the crew with additional firepower in the form of a gun and machine gun. These improvised machines were used mainly on the Eastern Front and represent an interesting example of technical improvisation by the Wehrmacht.
The Border Model 1/35 scale kit allows you to build this unusual and rare type, with a detailed transporter hull and a realistic R35 turret. The model offers the possibility to create an attractive and unusual piece of equipment for dioramas from the end of WWII.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
