Tamiya 1:48 Scale German Sd.Kfz.250/3 Greif Half-Track Model Kit with 3 Figures

By adopting the scale traditionally reserved for aircraft models, Tamiya's 1:48 scale military model kit series opens up a new world of possibilities for builders. While these exceptionally realistic kits make excellent single-subject displays, they really shine when they are placed in dioramas with either aircraft, AFVs, or both.

Produced by DEMAG, the Sd.Kfz.250 series of light half-tracks were versatile vehicles which served a large variety of roles. The Sd.Kfz.250/3 variant was a command vehicle equipped with long-range radio equipment for communications, its distinguishing feature being the unique frame-type radio antenna mounted on the roof. This half-track also featured 4 roadwheel axles, providing better all-terrain mobility than the armored cars it replaced. Used by high level commanders, this AFV was notable for being the personal mount of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel on the North African front.
