The Sd.Kfz. 247 Ausf. B model faithfully reproduces the details of the original vehicle, based on the Krupp Protze 6x4 truck. The B version, produced in a small number of units from 1939, was mainly used as an armored command vehicle, and less frequently as an artillery observation vehicle. Its characteristic feature was thin armor up to 8 mm, which only protected the crew against small arms fire. Apart from its typical command function, a few versions were equipped with an MG34 machine gun to improve combat performance.

The Sd.Kfz. 247 was used from the very first days of World War II, during the fighting in Poland and France, and later on the Eastern Front. These vehicles were valued for their mobility (achieving up to 70 km/h) and relatively long operational range on paved roads, despite moderate off-road capability. By the end of the war, only a few examples survived, adding to the historical value of this model.

The First To Fight model is distinguished by excellent part fit and high detail quality. Perfect for collectors of German vehicle miniatures and World War II history enthusiasts. Recommended difficulty level: 2/5 – the set is suitable for both beginners and intermediate modelers. A detailed manual and extra magazine make the model-building experience even more enjoyable.

We recommend this set to everyone who wants to enrich their battle diorama, German armored vehicle collection, or embark on an adventure with historical miniatures from World War II!
