Dragon Military 1/35 SdKfz 250/3 Greif Halftrack Kit
The best-known Sd.Kfz.250/3 of all was one used by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, during operations in North Africa. He christened his particular vehicle “Greif”, which translates as griffin. In actual fact, “Greif” featured an Sd.Kfz.250/Z Panzeraufbau armored superstructure that had unique characteristics such as a vision port in the rear door and a different overhanging shape at the rear. This latest Dragon kit now provides these exact components to build the Desert Fox’s halftrack mount. Furthermore, as it’s a 2-in-1 kit, modelers can choose to build a regular Sd.Kfz.250/3 command halftrack as well. The kit is based on Dragon’s most up-graded Sd.Kfz.250 Smart Kit version, but now modelers can build an Sd.Kfz.250/3 to the very latest contemporary standards, as well as “Greif” for desert operations.
