Review: Fantastic value kit - This was my first model kit in around 30 years and I chose it because it's a good all round kit in that you get the exterior to work with re armour, the interior to weather/wear and also 5 figures to practice on. The kit goes together fairly well although I did have a couple of minor fit issues with the hull but the level of detail is most acceptable for a kit which is so cheap to buy. The instructions are very clear and I was only left slightly pondering on a couple of parts but got there in the end Again with the figures it would have been nice for the detail to be slightly more defined to make painting easier and not to have as many seams from the moulding process to remove but I'll go back to my former point that for £12 for the whole kit it's not really fair to complain. Maybe not the easiest kit to start on with the interior and figures to contend with but if you want to throw yourself into military modelling it's fantastic value and a great kit
Review: Would recommend - A great model of this infamous German model

- In 1938, the German Army decided to develop an armoured personnel carrier on the basis of the 3-ton half-track (HL-KL-9p). Hanomag Hannoversch Machinenbau (AG) in Hannover was ordered to develop the running gear and Bussing-NAG in Berlin was to develop the superstructure to be armoured. Design work was hastened on the model of existing armoured cars and a prototype was completed at the end of 1938.
- The Germans tested the prototype in the Kumahsdorf Proving Ground and accepted it for mass production. Thus was born the Armoured Personnel Carrier Hanomag Sdkfz 251/1 which, we may safely say, was a synonym for the German mechanized corps that showed activity in all battlefields throughout the war.
- Ideal for model builders and hobbyists to recreate the iconic German World War II vehicle. A handy booklet with build instructions is included within the box.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with paint?**
A: None of the models come with paint unless stated.

**Q: Did your model come with the africa corps decals removed from decal sheet?  even on instruction sheet blacked out.....  pc gone mad**
A: Yes, the decal sheet has had certain crests removed. I wonder if these kits were destined for the German market?

**Q: Is Humbrol poly cement ok for this model, thanks.**
A: Yes Humbrol either liquid or in the traditional tube is fine, resin models and photo -etched metal parts need super glue type products. Dave Rhodes.

**Q: Hi what colour paints do you need**
A: The Wehrmacht used many different colour schemes during the war that often differed depending upon where the conflict was.  For my version I painted the whole vehicle in Khaki colour, Tamiya XF-49 and then added some very small streaks of a flat earth, Tamiya XF-52.  Make sure you take the tracks off before painting.  I recommend using an airbrush for painting.  Amazon do an "Abest" kit which I have and which gives great results.  Use Tamiya Acrylic paint for the best results and thin it out 2 parts thinner to 1 part paint.  You can use cold boiled tap water for this but I prefer to use a Tamiya product, X-20A thinner.  If you really want to go to town you can get various paint kits from Amazon which replicate thick mud and other debris to the bogie wheels to give a more realistic effect.  Happy spraying.

A great model of this infamous German model

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome halftrack
*by J***. on 28 October 2020*

The build of this kit will get a 10 out of 10 from me, easy to assemble and plenty of detail. The only thing that's done my head in is I've bought 2 kits and they had some of the decals missing, the decals that had been cut out of BOTH kits were the swastikas, I can only imagine this is so it doesn't offend anyone, but when your building for authentic then these swastika decals are crucial. I've actually built a couple of this kit last year and the swastika decals hadn't been removed and I wasn't offended, I'm not a snowflake. Anyway besides the missing decals its actually a awesome kit.
