Dragon Models Plastic Model Kit
Sd.Kfz.250/1 Le SPW Alte (1/35)
This 1/35 scale kit from Dragon Models represents the Sd.Kfz.250/1 Leichter Schützenpanzerwagen Alte, an early version of the German light armoured half-track used extensively during the Second World War. Designed for reconnaissance and troop transport roles, the Sd.Kfz.250 combined mobility with light armour protection. As part of the 1/35 vehicle range, it provides a detailed and historically significant subject for modellers.
This Premium Edition kit includes updated components from Dragon’s later Sd.Kfz.250 releases, improving overall detail and accuracy. The fighting compartment interior is fully represented, featuring GEN 2 weapons and equipment that enhance realism. The model also incorporates finely moulded parts alongside metal details, such as width indicator poles, adding further depth to the finished build.
Track assembly is supported by the inclusion of Magic Tracks, allowing for a realistic appearance with manageable construction. The structure of the Alte version, with its faceted armour plates and distinctive early-war design, is faithfully reproduced. The combination of interior detail and upgraded parts makes this kit suitable for standalone display or integration into a larger diorama.

The Sd.Kfz.250 was a light half-track developed to provide reconnaissance units with a fast and versatile armoured vehicle. The Alte version, introduced early in the war, featured a complex, multi-angled armour layout that was later simplified in subsequent variants. Despite its relatively light protection, it was widely used across multiple theatres, supporting infantry and reconnaissance units in a range of roles. Its adaptability and mobility made it a key vehicle in German operations throughout WWII. This model reflects that early design, offering a detailed representation of a widely used armoured vehicle from the period.
