Border Model Plastic Model Kit
Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D with R35 Turret (1/35) BT-042
This 1/35 kit from Border Model recreates one of the more unusual German field conversions: the Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D fitted with a French R35 turret. Intended as an improvised solution to bolster firepower for armoured half-tracks, this unique vehicle reflects the resourcefulness of German units during the later stages of World War II, particularly on the Eastern Front.
- Detailed Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D chassis with accurate angular armour
- French R35 turret with rotatable mount and full interior detail
- Photo-etched details for fine elements including tool clamps and stowage racks
- Includes crew seating and interior components
- Decals for multiple late-war unit markings
- Optional configuration for combat deployment or transport
This kit provides a fascinating modelling subject, offering a blend of captured equipment and field engineering rarely represented in plastic. Ideal for dioramas or as a standalone conversation piece, this vehicle exemplifies the tactical improvisation of German forces in 1944–45.
