Description

The Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D with R35 Turret is a unique modification of the German Sd.Kfz.251 half-track vehicle, integrating the turret from a French Renault R35 tank. This adaptation was most likely carried out in 1944, either by German forces or post-liberation French units. The addition of the R35 turret, armed with a 37mm gun, aimed to enhance the vehicle’s firepower while maintaining its mobility.

The Ausf.D was the most widely produced variant of the Sd.Kfz.251 half-track series, known for its versatility in transporting infantry and providing support in various configurations​.

This hybrid vehicle saw limited action, primarily in France, where it was used in the later stages of World War II. The combination of the Sd.Kfz.251’s robust chassis and the R35 turret’s armament created a formidable, yet rare, armoured vehicle.

This precision model kit by Border Model captures this unusual configuration in 1/35 scale, offering detailed parts, photo-etched components, and precise decals to recreate this historical piece accurately. This kit provides a fascinating build for model enthusiasts interested in unique wartime adaptations, and the diverse range of military vehicles used during the conflict.
