Italeri 7080 Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Wurfrahmen Stuka zu Fuss 1/72

The Italeri 7080 Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Wurfrahmen Stuka zu Fuss model in 1/72 scale is a faithful, detailed miniature of the German armored vehicle from World War II. This plastic model kit stands out for its exceptional accuracy in replicating both the hull and the characteristic rocket launchers that became famous under the name "Stuka zu Fuss"—literally "Stuka on Foot."

The original Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D was an armored personnel carrier widely used by the German army between 1943 and 1945. The Wurfrahmen version was adapted to carry and launch high-caliber Nebelwerfer artillery rockets (ranging from 280 mm to 320 mm caliber), which were mounted on wooden frames on the sides of the vehicle. It was used, among others, during battles on the Eastern Front and the campaign in France, providing German troops with mobile, effective fire support artillery. The launchers were commonly referred to as "Organ Chests" due to their distinctive appearance and the terrifying sound produced by rocket launches.

The Italeri model features precisely cast parts made from high-quality plastic to ensure realistic reproduction of vehicle and launcher details. All sprues are designed to make assembly easier and minimize the need for excessive sanding of fitting parts. The kit also includes decals with unique markings used by German vehicles on various fronts of the war. The product does not contain glue or model paints, allowing modelers to select the best materials according to their own preferences.
