1/35 SDKFZ 251/22 AUSF W/7.5CM

The Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz.251/22 w/7.5cm PaK 40 (HC-D6963) captures one of the most potent variants of Germany’s renowned halftrack family. This late-war conversion mounted the 7.5cm PaK 40 in the open-topped fighting compartment, delivering mobile anti-tank firepower on the Eastern and Western fronts. Dragon’s kit focuses on sharp detail and practical build features to showcase this distinctive vehicle in 1/35 scale.

Historical Background

Production of the Sd.Kfz.251/22 began in December 1944, following a directive to mount as many anti-tank guns as possible on mobile platforms. These vehicles were issued to panzer divisions, though exact production figures remain unclear. The combination of the Sd.Kfz.251 chassis and the 7.5cm PaK 40 created a formidable late-war asset designed to take on enemy armour.

Key Features

• 1/35 scale kit of the Sd.Kfz.251/22 with 7.5cm PaK 40 main armament

With its detailed interior and the prominent PaK 40, this kit makes a compelling project for modellers of late-war German armour. The inclusion of EZ-Track enhances the building experience, allowing more time to focus on finishing and presentation. A strong choice for dioramas and display, Dragon’s Sd.Kfz.251/22 offers a balanced mix of historical interest and modelling satisfaction.
