Warlord Games: Sd.Kfz 251/20 Uhu with infra-red sight


Warlord Games: This week we make available the vehicles Alessio Cavatore outlined in his exciting night time operations rules for Bolt Action (see below!). This is the Sd.Kfz 251/20 Uhu with infra-red sight.


This modified Hanomag armoured halftrack was equipped with night vision and a 600mm searchlight that could illuminate targets much further away than the Panthers’ smaller searchlights. Working in tandem, allied armour was a vulnerable target…


Attached to units of night-fighting Panthers and protected by infantry squads equipped with night-fighting assault rifles, the Uhu was designed to work in conjunction with the Panthers in order to try to make better use of the long range of their main guns. As you can see, our Uhu is highly detailed, with it’s German operator scanning the landscape for possible targets. The searchlight is made so you can rotate it to the angle you so desire. Anyone handy with rare earth magnets could also make it fully rotatable!
