Historical description: The Sd.Kfz. 251 is the most recognizable German half-track armored personnel carrier from World War II, employed on all fronts by the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. The “Track Late Type” model faithfully replicates the tracks used on late versions of this vehicle, which featured simplified production and increased durability—particularly effective in winter conditions and after 1943. This type of track can be seen in photographs from both the Eastern and Western fronts during the final years of the war.

Main features of the set:

• High level of detail – realistic embossing and varied track surface textures
• Individual links – allow natural layout even on uneven ground and precise fit on the model’s wheels
• No need to glue entire track runs – easy and modular assembly
• Compatible with Sd.Kfz. 251 models in 1/35 scale from different manufacturers, including AFV Club, Dragon, Tamiya
