Dragon 1/35 Sd.Kfz.251/2 Ausf.C Rivetted Version mit Wurfrahmen 40 # 6966
The Sd.Kfz.251/2 Ausf.C Rivetted Version mit Wurfrahmen 40 was a German half-track vehicle that saw use during World War II.
It was an armored personnel carrier (APC) that was designed to transport soldiers and equipment across difficult terrain.
The "Sd.Kfz." designation stands for "Sonderkraftfahrzeug," which translates to "special-purpose vehicle" in English. The "251" refers to the vehicle's model number, while the "/2" indicates that it was equipped with a 28/32 cm Wurfrahmen 40 rocket launcher.
The "Ausf.C" designation refers to the vehicle's version or variant, which was introduced in 1943.
This version had a riveted hull, as opposed to the earlier welded hull. The riveted construction made the vehicle cheaper and faster to produce, but also made it slightly less durable.
The Wurfrahmen 40 rocket launcher was mounted on the vehicle's roof and could fire up to six 28 or 32 cm rockets at a time.
It was primarily used as a support weapon against enemy infantry and light vehicles.
Overall, the Sd.Kfz.251/2 Ausf.C Rivetted Version mit Wurfrahmen 40 was a versatile and effective vehicle that saw extensive use on the Eastern Front during World War II.
