Tamiya Models German Hanomag SdKfz 251/1 Model Kit,, Multicolor

First of all, this is not a toy. It is a 1:35 scale model. It requires a lot of patience and hardwork. Don't buy it, if you are looking for a toy, because it's not. Quality is very good and fits perfectly.

Don't get deceived by the product image. The actual toy is completely different from what is shown in the image. There are no compact army figures or the tank as shown. What you get is just a set of cheap plastic kit and you need to remove each part and assemble it together with glue. Even the body of the soldier is made available in five parts and you need to stick them together and in most cases, there will fall off or break as the child plays. It is ridiculous that Germany army engineering images are shown in the instructional manual and you end up getting frustrated. What you see is not what you get. Also not worth the price. Beware of this product. The seller is cheating us with the product image.

Loved the model, it was a fun and quick build. The manual has some nice historical info about the vehicle. Overall I really recommend

A great model of this infamous German model

Back as a teen (all those ages and ages ago) I always wanted this kit but never got around to getting it. Three decades later I picked up the hobby again after having my Achilles Tendon surgically reattached to my heel (long story). This one one of the first kits I bought though one I didn't get around to building right away. I should have! It's a quality kit that really is fun to build. It's not as simple a kit as you might think but not so challenging as to become overwhelming. It assembles relatively easily (as long as you don't misread the instructions and assemble the wheels improperly - lost a good day trying to figure THAT one out, lol), and the kit looks great along side the newer, more detailed kits of today. It's almost hard to believe it's been around as long as it has. When assembled properly the front wheels roll and turn side to side as if being steered, and the tracks roll on the wheels a little which I find is a neat little addition. It allowed me to create track marks in the "mud" VERY easily! My only criticism - and it's simply me being picky, is I would have liked the option of adding a driver. The soldiers provided are great (I think they're a subset of the German Assault Troops kit made by Tamiya), but a driver would have offered some options other than deploying for battle. Having said that, I found a kit on here from Dragon that has 4 figures including a gunner, driver, assistant driver, and fellow with binocs specifically designed for a halftrack like this one! A FABULOUS addition to the soldiers already provided! Whether you're an old hand at military modeling or just getting started you can't go wrong by having this kit in your collection if it isn't already. Even if it IS, can you REALLY have TOO MANY halftracks??

Modelo muy sencillo, con pocas piezas, pero de buen encaje, aunque pocos detalles. Se monta en dos tardes, una para el vehículo y otra para el pelotón de panzergrenadiers que le acompaña. Interesante como primera maqueta o como base o complemento para dioramas. Es también la típica maqueta barata que te sirve para experimentar pinturas y acabados que igual no te atreverías con modelos mas caros o complejos. Como es habitual en Tamiya, calcas censuradas, así que nos olvidamos del Afrika korps.
