The Sd.Kfz.251/16 Ausf.C Flammpanzerwagen, as its name suggests, carried flamethrowers.
The newest kit portrays such a flammpanzerwagen with a welded hull.

The Sd.Kfz.251 German halftrack family was widely employed throughout WWII, with more than 15,000 units built. One family member was the Sd.Kfz.251/16 Ausf.C Flammpanzerwagen, which carrie two 14mm projectors mounted on each hull side. These were supplied by two fuel tanks totaling 700 liters of flammable mixture. This was enough to fuel 80 bursts lasting up to two seconds each. A total of 347 such halftrack flamethrowers were built from January 1943 onwards.

The new Dragon model features an impressive level of detail visible in the open-topped fighting compartment, including the projectors, spray tubes and fuel tanks. Indeed, two sets of projectors are offered (with or without covers) to ensure modellers can display the kit precisely as they wish.

Two flame operator figures and a driver figure are included, and the former even come with alternate heads wearing field caps or flame proof hoods.
