SDKFZ 250/1 Ausf. A Grossdeutschland division

An old Dragon models kit back from 1999 I think. It was shelved for a very long time, managed to finish it in June 2026. I debated myself on what the colors would be, I decided on early eastern front because I never made any models from that period before.

Straight out of the box mostly. I had a problem with the driver it comes with, the legs makes it impossible for it to fit in the vehicle properly, I ended up cutting the legs under knee.Putting the hull together nicely was also a challenge, how it was molded made it rather wobbly.

Nicely done! The blitzkrieg era paint scheme turned out great!
I’ll have to remember about the driver’s feet/legs and the hull fitting when I get around to building mine.

They use the same driver in a number of their 251 kits as well. You might be able to notice the missing legs on the open-top vehicles but the ones with covers or a weapons mount obscuring the front usually hides your savage crimes against those poor men.

Thank you for the info. I thought I built it wrong or something. At least I know it’s more how the kit is made not me.
