Zvezda Snap Kit snap-in kit

The models of the Zvezda series of the Snap Kit series are intended mainly for beginning builders. Individual plastic pieces need to be cut from the moldings with a knife or snapped out with pliers. The plastic pieces are designed so that they can snap together and thus hold together. We definitely recommend gluing the individual pieces together after clicking to increase the strength of the models, eg with Revell Contacta Professional glue.

The assembled model must then be painted with enamel (synthetic) or acrylic paints on plastic models.

Template information:

SdKfz 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) was the basic armored personnel carrier of the German army. He weighed 9 tons and carried 10 infantry, machine gunner, commander and driver. Like the SdKfz 250, it was standardly armed with two MG 34 or 42 machine guns. It began to be used in 1939 and was deployed mainly to tank divisions. However, its introduction to other units had to be expected, because the German armaments industry was not enough for a high rate of armament and so the units were equipped with it only during the war. Like the SdKfz 250, the transporter was modified for multiple roles, and the Wehrmacht and SS Weapons were interested in it.

Components for the SdKfz 251 transporter were also manufactured during World War II in the Protectorate at Škoda Plzeň and Bohemia in Česká Lípa. After the end of the war, a considerable number of these vehicles remained in Czechoslovakia, which were included in the armament of the Czechoslovak army under the designation HKL6p, popularly called "Hakl". This machine was the inspiration for the later Czechoslovak armored personnel carrier OT-810.
