The Italeri 7077 Sd.Kfz. 251/8 Ambulance recreates the field ambulance used in WWII with a focus on authentic bodywork and crew areas. The real vehicle used a Maybach engine and was noted for its ability to negotiate rough terrain at roughly 55 km/h, making it effective for casualty evacuation under difficult conditions.
The kit mirrors the Sd.Kfz. 251/8 capability to carry up to eight seated wounded or a mix of seating and stretchers, providing insight into frontline medical transport. This makes it a practical choice for historians and layout builders who want realistic support vehicles.
Designed to reward careful modelling, the Italeri 7077 includes a color guide to help replicate accurate paint schemes. The plastic parts offer clear assembly paths and good detail for a model of this size.
