German Hanomag Sd.Kfz.251/1 Military 1:35 Plastic Model Assembly Kit

Really good quality kit and lots of fun to build. You can't go wrong with Tamiya model kits.

This was my first model kit in around 30 years and I chose it because it's a good all round kit in that you get the exterior to work with re armour, the interior to weather/wear and also 5 figures to practice on. The kit goes together fairly well although I did have a couple of minor fit issues with the hull but the level of detail is most acceptable for a kit which is so cheap to buy. The instructions are very clear and I was only left slightly pondering on a couple of parts but got there in the end Again with the figures it would have been nice for the detail to be slightly more defined to make painting easier and not to have as many seams from the moulding process to remove but I'll go back to my former point that for £12 for the whole kit it's not really fair to complain. Maybe not the easiest kit to start on with the interior and figures to contend with but if you want to throw yourself into military modelling it's fantastic value and a great kit

A great model of this infamous German model

Nice little kit to build, lots of fiddle bits putting mine on a desert diorama with extra soldiers, like all other reviews disappointed the descal for the Africa korp have been cut out! Hence 4 stars, history is history leave it alone!.

Kit as described and delivered promptly

The build of this kit will get a 10 out of 10 from me, easy to assemble and plenty of detail. The only thing that's done my head in is I've bought 2 kits and they had some of the decals missing, the decals that had been cut out of BOTH kits were the swastikas, I can only imagine this is so it doesn't offend anyone, but when your building for authentic then these swastika decals are crucial. I've actually built a couple of this kit last year and the swastika decals hadn't been removed and I wasn't offended, I'm not a snowflake. Anyway besides the missing decals its actually a awesome kit.

Classic kit at bargain price. Easy to build kit with enough detail to make interesting. Comes with 5 figures (only 2 shown in photos). One minor point: figures come with good uniform detail, plenty of kit and helmet decals but the face detail is less defined than ideal. Cant moan for the money and when added to a battlefield diarama towing a small gun should look good.

Fantastic

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

Excellent model kit overall. Lots of small parts with the soldiers. The Hanomag itself is an easy build except for the tracks. I had to reinforce the drive wheels from the inside and heat the track to stretch it slightly. My first attempt at installing the track pulled the drive wheels right out of the hull. The track MUST be boiled or heated gently with a heat gun and installed warm.

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.

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.
