Dragon Sd.Kfz.250/8 w/7.5cm K.51 L/24 Premium Edition

Sd.Kfz 250 was a German light, half-track armored transport from the Second World War. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in 1939, and serial production continued in the period 1940-1944, ending with the production of about 6,700 units. The Sd.Kfz 250 was powered by a six-cylinder engine Maybach HL 42 TRKM with 100 hp .

The Sd.Kfz 250 was developed as a light reconnaissance and multipurpose vehicle for the German armored divisions and panzer grenadiers. In the course of serial production, two versions of the Sd.Kfz 250 hull were created: the first (called "alt") had undercut side hull plates and a broken armor plate at the front of the hull. In 1943, the "neu" version was introduced, which was simplified: the hull sides were flat, as was the armor plate on the front of the car. During the Second World War, several variants and versions of the Sd.Kfz 250 were created. The first chronological version was the Sd.Kfz 250/1, which was the basic version and could function as a light infantry transporter or reconnaissance vehicle. Later, the Sd.Kfz 250/3 version appeared, which was a command version with a long-range loop antenna and a long-range radio. Later, a version armed with an 80 mm mortar (Sd.Kfz 250/7), a 28 mm anti-tank gun (Sd.Kfz 250/11) or a reconnaissance vehicle with a 20 mm cannon in a rotating turret (Sd. Kfz 250/9). Cars Sd.Kfz 250 of all versions were used primarily in armored divisions and armored grenadiers on virtually all fronts of World War II.
