Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
German Sd.Kfz. 250/3 Greif Ausf. A (1/35) 35113
This 1/35 scale kit depicts the Sd.Kfz. 250/3 Ausf. A, a command variant of Germany’s light armoured half-track used extensively during the Second World War. The 250/3 is most famously associated with Erwin Rommel, whose vehicle “Greif” became an instantly recognisable symbol of the Afrika Korps. Tamiya’s tooling captures the early Ausf. A hull design with its angled armoured plates and compact open-topped layout, providing a highly accurate representation of the real vehicle.
The model features finely moulded exterior detail, including stowage racks, tools and communication fittings. The interior is equipped with radio sets, seating and control components, offering strong visual depth when displayed open. The half-track suspension and track assemblies are crisply reproduced, conveying the mechanical character of the vehicle. The kit builds into an excellent representation of a historically significant command machine.

The Sd.Kfz. 250 series was created to fulfil reconnaissance and command roles, offering mobility, protection and space for communication equipment. The 250/3 variant carried additional radios, making it an essential vehicle for battlefield coordination. Rommel’s use of “Greif” during the North African campaign helped cement the vehicle’s place in military history. Its combination of agility, rugged construction and advanced communication capability made it a key asset in fast-moving operations, reflecting the tactical doctrine of the Afrika Korps and the broader evolution of armoured warfare.
