Academy 13540 - 1/35 German Sd.kfz.251/1 Ausf.C: Detailed WW2 Half-Track Reproduction

The Academy 13540 - 1/35 German Sd.kfz.251/1 Ausf.C model kit captures the look and layout of this World War II armoured personnel carrier in scale. Built from finely moulded plastic parts, the kit gives modelers the pieces needed to recreate the vehicle's distinctive hull, running gear and crew compartments with care and accuracy.

Why This Sd.kfz.251/1 Ausf.C Appeals to Modelers

This half-track is prized for its historical role and practical design, and the kit mirrors those qualities with accurate shapes and surface detail. Modelers will find reference-friendly features that make painting and weathering straightforward while keeping the build rewarding.

Assembly Notes and Display Tips

The assembly process requires patience and standard modelling tools, with parts that fit together to produce a convincing display model when finished. Proper glue, a steady hand for decals, and basic weathering techniques will elevate the final presentation on any display shelf.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Includes: Detailed decals for authentic markings
This kit is better suited to hobbyists with some modelling experience due to fine details and small parts; beginners can still build it but should expect a learning curve.
Use enamel or acrylic paints matched to historical German colours, and consider a light pre-shade and post-shade weathering to bring out panel lines and surface texture.
Decals will benefit from a decal softener or setting solution to conform to uneven surfaces; apply over a gloss base coat and seal with a clear varnish after drying.
