1/72 Sd.Kfz.251/2 Ausf.C w/ GrW34 medium Mortar Carrier
The Sd.Kfz. 251 was produced in a number of hull types as production had to
be simplified as the war wore on. German half-tracks were used in a number of
roles including that of mortar carrier. This version, known as the Sd.Kfz. 251/2,
provided a mobile platform for the 8cm GrW34 medium mortar.
Currently this is the only kit of the mortar carrier on the market available
in 1/72 scale. Much effort has been invested in the kit with completely new
tooling to represent a wonderfully replicated true to scale riveted hull! On
the original vehicle the 8cm Grenatwerfer 34 mortar could be dismounted and
fired from a baseplate, or fired while mounted inside the vehicle."

The kit’s mortar carrier is manufactured with Dragon Model standards – it has
been broken down into four separate parts to maximize detail, and of course
it can also be modeled dismounted with its accompanying crew figures! Parts
are abundant, including extra accessories like ammo boxes and an extremely useful
photo-etched fret. This vehicle has been long awaited by modelers and at last
it is here.
