Model History and Information: This Dragon Armor edition is identified as German Sd.Kfz. 251/7 Ausf. D Pionierpanzerwagen with Bridging Equipment - Factory Pattern (1:72 Scale). Its finish and unit caption distinguish the collectible; the account below addresses the documented history of the real vehicle type. The Sd.Kfz. 251/7 was the assault engineer version of the German army's standard armoured half-track. Its distinguishing feature is the pair of detachable bridge ramps carried along the top of the crew compartment, which the pioneers could lift off and lay across a ditch, a crater or a broken bridge so that the column behind could keep moving; side lockers held inflatable boats for river crossings. The vehicle also carried the demolition stores and mine clearing gear of an engineer squad, and served on every front from the Eastern Front to the last fighting in Berlin.
