Hi guys:)
Am going to make a diorama of the attached photo and am searching for any info about this halftrack. Can anyone tell me which kit would be best to use? (scale 1/35) and also am trying to find the complete unit number that was painted on its back doors..

Hi Yngve,

good to see you back at the bench again!

The vehicle in question is a Sd.Kfz. 250/1 Neue Ausführung, which is only made by Dragon: Either as a (mostly) new smart kit new smart kit or as a not really bad "dumb" kit.

As for the number, Bison Decals released a sheet with this vehicle a while ago and they gave it "339".

Thanks Philipp
Been a while since I built something now, have been busy publishing a book and doing expeditions. Came back from a expedition last night and have a few commissioned builds to do now,,so Im hoping for a rainy month so I can get them started

Looking forward to seeing this come together and it's definitely nice to have you back at the bench Yngve

Rob, there is a picture of this same 1/2 track from the rear end. It's a good photo of the rear, down side is the door is open and there is a couple bodies that are stuffed into the opening. You will have to do a google image search, but it will show up. This 1/2 track was part of a convoy trying to bust out of Berlin. The Soviets would not have any of it and whipped the convoy out. The is a pretty extensive article on the internet about this convoy with a lot of photos, which is where I saw the photo mentioned above.

Hi Ygnve,

Nice to see you back again. I'm just getting back into the groove myself.

Are you still doing your book?

Rob, this is the link to what I was talking about.
