Details

The Sd.Kfz.250/1 “Neu” was a light German half-track armoured personnel carrier developed during the later years of World War II, designed to provide fast, protected transport for infantry and reconnaissance units.

The “Neu” (new) version featured a simplified hull design compared to earlier variants, reducing production complexity while maintaining battlefield effectiveness.

Built on a compact half-track chassis, the Sd.Kfz.250/1 combined good cross-country mobility with the ability to traverse roads efficiently, making it ideal for rapid deployment alongside armoured formations.

Its open-topped configuration allowed for excellent visibility and communication, while typically being armed with one or two machine guns for defensive fire support.

The “Neu” variant introduced a more streamlined, angular body with fewer armour plates, reflecting Germany’s need to speed up manufacturing during the later stages of the war.

Despite its lighter protection, it remained a versatile and widely used vehicle, particularly in reconnaissance roles and for transporting Panzergrenadier troops.

Compact, agile, and adaptable, the Sd.Kfz.250/1 “Neu” exemplifies the German approach to mechanised warfare, playing a key role in mobile operations across multiple fronts.

Short Description	Designed by Demag and based on the D7 chassis, the original halftrack’s complex design of angled plates was considerably simplified in October 1943 in order to ease production. With the original 19 armoured plates reduced to just nine, the resultant design is often referred to as the Sd.Kfz.250 NEU. Production of nearly 2,400 vehicles continued till July 1944. Importantly, Dragon is again offering 1/35 scale Premium Edition plastic kits of it. What is particularly notable is that Dragon is the only kit manufacturer to offer the Sd.Kfz.250 NEU in 1/35 scale! Item No. 6476 represents the base version, the Sd.Kfz.250/1 NEU that had two MG34 machine guns. Wearing the Premium Edition label, it’s upgraded with a number of stunning parts such as Magic Tracks, Gen2 soldier equipment and weapons to fill the vehicle interior, as well as metal width indicator poles and a bonus headlight. Assembly is eased by incorporating slide-moulded parts, while a realistic tarpaulin over the troop compartment is replicated. The Sd.Kfz.250/1 Neu halftrack might be the base version, but this fantastic kit is anything but basic!
