1/35 WW.II German Army Sd.Kfz.251 / 22 Ausf.D 7.5cm Pak40 Anti-Tank Self-Propelled Gun
Description
This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
During World War II, the German Army developed various self-propelled units with on-board artillery with an eye toward improving mobility. The Sd.Kfz.251/22 is a semi-tracked armored personnel carrier based on the Sd.Kfz.251 D type; it was equipped with a 7.5cm PaK40 anti-tank gun (considered as a masterpiece weapon) and made into a self-propelled gun. The Sd.Kfz.251 has many variations that utilized its high-performance half-track body, but this was the last to be produced among the 251 series of vehicles.
This model kit from Dragon realistically reproduces the unique style of the Sd.Kfz.251/22, with the 7.5cm PaK40 anti-tank gun mounted on the rear modeled in exquisite detail. The vehicle's open top makes it easy to appreciate the mechanical design and finish; various pieces of equipment are easily visible for a sense of density. EZ Tracks are used for the track parts, easy to assemble and giving a realistic finish to the suspension. Place your order today!

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Cement Required
This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.
While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
