The ICM HC-ICM35105 Beobachtungspanzerwagen Sd.Kfz.251/18 Ausf.A is a 1:35 scale plastic model kit of the WWII German observation and communications half-track, complete with crew.

A three-option decal sheet and two German soldier figures are included to enhance display possibilities.
Based on the Sd.Kfz.11 artillery tractor, the Sd.Kfz.251 entered service before WWII as Germany’s primary armoured personnel carrier. The Ausf.A introduced the series’ fully armoured hull with an open fighting compartment and rear double doors, typically armed with an MG 34. The Sd.Kfz.251/18 mittlerer Beobachtungspanzerwagen specialised in observation and communications, distinguished by a staff map table on the compartment roof. Depending on configuration, vehicles could retain an MG 34 with shield or mount an S.F.14Z rangefinder for observation, targeting and distance estimation.

During the Second World War, the Sd.Kfz.251 was the main armoured personnel carrier of Germany, and it also became the base vehicle for combat vehicles for various purposes. The Sd.Kfz.251/18 variant (mittlerer Beobachtungspanzerwagen) was an armoured personnel carrier for observation and communications, distinguished by a map table mounted on the roof of the control room. Some of these combat vehicles remained armed with an MG 34 machine gun with a shield. Some of these armoured personnel carriers were also equipped with S.F.14Z rangefinders for observation, targeting and distance determination.
