The Sd.Kfz.251/9 Ausf.C, nicknamed "Stummel" ("stump") by German troops, was a variant of the ubiquitous Sd.Kfz.251 armoured half-track fitted with a short-barrelled 7.5cm KwK37 L/ 24 gun in an open-topped mount. Issued to the heavy weapons companies of Panzergrenadier battalions, it gave mechanised infantry their own mobile close-support and anti-fortification firepower, able to keep pace with the half-tracks and armour it supported.Dragon's 1/35 rendition of the Ausf.C chassis is built around a highly engineered one-piece lower hull produced using Dragon's slide-mould technology, eliminating unsightly seams on the distinctive sloped hull sides. The kit features a fully detailed driver's compartment, accurately reproduced front leaf-spring suspension, and a turned-aluminium gun barrel for the stubby KwK37, replicating the fine proportions of the real weapon far better than a plastic moulding could.Metal indicator poles, photo-etched detail parts and a full decal sheet for authentic vehicle markings round out the package, giving painters and detail modellers plenty to work with both inside and out.Recommended for modellers with some prior armour-building experience who want a distinctive, lesser-modelled half-track variant to complement a Kursk or Normandy-era Panzergrenadier diorama.
