Takom 2194 Sd.Kfz 250/3 Greif Rommel Command Half-Track 1/35

Takom 2194 Sd.Kfz 250/3 Greif Rommel Command Half-Track is a high-quality plastic model kit in 1/35 scale, depicting the famous German command vehicle from World War II. This model from the renowned manufacturer Takom transports the user to the reality of the North African desert campaign, presenting one of the most recognizable vehicles of that theater of operations—the "Greif" commanded by Erwin Rommel.

The original Sd.Kfz 250/3 “Greif” was a light half-track armored personnel carrier, specifically adapted for use as a mobile command vehicle. Its most notable period of use was between 1941–1943, when it served the Armed Forces of the Third Reich during combat in North Africa. The famous general Erwin Rommel, known as the “Desert Fox,” used this vehicle as a mobile command center during operations with the Deutsches Afrikakorps.
