This is a Italeri 7034 1/72 Sd.Kfz. 250/3 Plastic Model Kit

One of the half-tracks deployed by the German Army, the Sd.Kfz.250 is equipped with an armored body on a one-ton half-track chassis. Various versions were created, including basic armored personnel carriers, radio vehicles, ammunition carriers and reconnaissance vehicles. The Sd.Kfz.250/3 is a radio command vehicle type; Rommel used this vehicle on the North African front. He boarded a vehicle with a large "Greif" painted on its side, continuing to command from the battlefield. The Sd.Kfz.250 also has a vehicle called the Z chassis, with a long rear part. The Z chassis was mainly used for the Sd.Kfz.253, and it is said that Rommel's Greif was this type.

In addition to the Sd.Kfz.250/3's characteristic style, the frame-type antenna unique to the radio command vehicle equipped on the upper part of the vehicle is included. The open-top battle room is realistically reproduced, and the large radio equipment inside the car also has a mechanical finish. The suspension reproduces the combination of the rear crawler belt on the front wheels, including suspension such as rolling wheels. The tracks are a belt type that is easy to assemble; three soldier figures are included too.
