1⁄72

Modelltrans Modellbau continues to release sets on German half-track vehicles, and its latest kit provides a conversion to build one that mounts a long range infrared searchlight.
Late in the Second World War, the Sd.Kfz.251/20 Ausf.D UHU operated together with the Pz.Kpfw. V Panthers during night attacks at the Western Front. It consists of a 60cm Beobachtungstelescope (telescopic sight) 1221 and a Beobachtungsgerat (viewing machine) 1251. Around 60 UHU were built, with some deployed to Hungary in 1945.

Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf.D "UHU" (MT72459) is a 1/72 resin conversion set designed for use with a Hasegawa kit. A Dragon kit may also be used but may require additional work to fit.

Good stuff. I've built the CMK conversion, and it had no generator included. This one seems to have this "tiny" detail right...
