The Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz.252 Leichte Gepanzerte Munitionskraftwagen (HC-D6718) depicts the compact German ammunition carrier paired with its Sd.Ah.32/1 trailer. Built on the Sd.Kfz.250 light halftrack chassis, this detailed kit focuses on the ammo carrier’s distinct lines and practical service configuration, offering rich scope for diorama builders.

Historical Context

The Sd.Kfz.252 served as a lightly armoured ammunition carrier supporting Sturmartillerie batteries. Produced from June 1940 to September 1941 with a total of 413 vehicles, it commonly towed the Sd.Ah.32/1 trailer, which in service carried additional 75 mm rounds. The type saw action on both the Western and Eastern fronts before its role was assumed by the Sd.Kfz.250/6, making this combination a compelling subject for period dioramas.

Combining thoughtful engineering with faithful subject detail, this Dragon kit brings the Sd.Kfz.252 and its ammunition trailer to life in 1/35 scale. Part number HC-D6718 provides a versatile platform for modellers seeking authentic World War II German halftrack and support vehicle scenes.
