Sd.Kfz. 251/20 Ausf. D (Uhu Infra MG42 Gun) miniature, representing the German infrared searchlight vehicle used during the later stages of World War II. Based on the Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. D chassis, this specialized variant was equipped with a large infrared searchlight mounted in the rear and an MG42 machine gun for close-range defense.
Nicknamed "Uhu" (Owl), the vehicle played a role in Germany's experimental night combat operations, working alongside tanks and other units equipped with infrared technology. The powerful searchlight allowed targets to be detected and engaged under darkness while remaining invisible to the naked eye.
Note: The large infrared searchlight and the MG42 machine gun are provided as separate pieces and require gluing to complete the model.
The Ausf. D featured a simplified hull design with fewer armor plates, improving production efficiency while maintaining effective protection. This unique night-fighting vehicle is perfect for WWII dioramas, experimental equipment collections, or historical vehicle displays in multiple scales.
