SdKfz. D Stuka zu Fuss (1/35) 35151
This 1/35 scale kit recreates the German Sd.Kfz. 251/1 “Stuka zu Fuss,” a rocket-equipped variant of the iconic WWII half-track. Developed after the 1941 invasion of Russia, it added six external launch frames for 28cm and 32cm rockets to the standard infantry carrier.
- Detailed half-track chassis with accurate suspension and hull layout.
- Includes six rocket frames with container detail for 28cm and 32cm projectiles.
- Authentic external mounting brackets and aiming rods.
- Interior detail with firing controls and crew seating.
- Marking options for operational vehicles.
With an effective range of over 2,000 meters, the “Stuka zu Fuss” provided devastating close support firepower for German infantry. The rockets were mounted in their transport crates on side brackets, aimed by manoeuvring the vehicle, and fired electrically from inside. This weapon system earned its nickname from the famous Ju87 “Stuka” dive bomber due to its distinctive destructive power.
