The "Desert Fox" had plenty of notable command vehicles during his time in command of the Afrika Korps. One of the most famous was the Sd.Kfz.250/3 halftrack named "GREIF" (English: 'Griffin'). This was a standard vehicle upgraded if you will with not only the regular western desert extra jerry cans and stowage but with all of the radios and signal gear & the radio aerial frame that Rommel needed to communicate with his units in the line and the rear (if he was upfront as in all the propaganda of the time showed).
A lot of features and options are offered in this kit. They are shown in both red and blue. From photos, you can see these options at different times, so it is great for Takom to add these. Alternate tires, stowage, bags, a blanket, cable, and backpacks are included, sculpted digitally by the designer Jason Wong.
There are photo-etched parts included for the kit, showing grilles, straps, brackets & number plate amongst other parts. A cable is included for the front which matches the photos we have of the vehicle.
