C version, which was mass-produced starting in 1940.

The Sd.Kfz. 251/1 was the primary armored personnel carrier of the infantry in German panzer divisions–serving as a troop transport for grenadier squads, providing protection against small arms fire and shrapnel on the battlefield. The Ausf. C variant, the third development version, stood out due to its sloped side plates and simplified structure, facilitating mass production. These vehicles were widely used from 1940, beginning with the Balkan campaign, through the Eastern Front, up to the Normandy invasion in 1944.

The AFV Club 48007 model has been manufactured with great attention to historical accuracy and detail—both externally and in the vehicle interior. The manufacturer ensured realistically replicated features such as weld seams, weapon mounts, and all intricacies of the half-track chassis. The 1/48 scale allows for an accurately rendered vehicle while maintaining moderate size, making it an excellent choice for dioramas or collections. The kit does not include glue or paints, giving the modeler freedom to choose appropriate painting and finishing techniques.
