The 1/35 Takom 2212 Sd.Kfz.250/7 Ausf.A Leichter Schützenpanzerwagen Schwerer Granatwerfer is a characterful plastic model kit of a German mortar armoured infantry vehicle from the Second World War. This model is ideal for modellers who want to build a compact halftrack with a clear support role within German armoured divisions and armoured grenadier units.

The Sd.Kfz 250 was developed as a light reconnaissance and multi purpose vehicle for German armoured divisions and armoured grenadiers. The first prototypes were built in 1939 and serial production continued from 1940 to 1944, ending with around 6,700 vehicles produced. It was powered by a six cylinder Maybach HL 42 TRKM engine with 100 hp. Thanks to its halftrack layout and versatile deployment options, the Sd.Kfz 250 was used on virtually all fronts of the Second World War.

Several variants were created within the series, including the Sd.Kfz 250/1 as a light infantry transporter or reconnaissance vehicle, the Sd.Kfz 250/3 as a command version with long-range loop antenna and radio, and the Sd.Kfz 250/7 with an 80 mm mortar.

 This mortar version gives the model strong diorama value: you are not just building a standard transport vehicle, but a support vehicle that fits perfectly into a realistic WWII scene.
