looks nice so far. the filled up holes of the grille can be opened up with the tip of a needle.

Nice detail painting and detail work on the radio. Years ago I've made the 1/32 Airfix Greif.
I'm in 👍

I had a choice between the Revell SdKfz 250 and this one... Looks like I really made the wrong choice.

Bart: thank you, will do it. But I'm afraid needle won't be enough, those are tiny bits of CA glue.
Rui: thanx
Ensign: Revell vs Dragon? Not a question: always Dragon! 🙂

Bart Goesaert
aren't these mostly the same molds? armourwise then?

23 June 2016, 07:04

Attila Papp
Well... you might be right. According to Scalemates database Revell and Dragon kits differ only in decals.

Rui S
So, EnsignExpendabl no wrong choices with this one😉

Actually Revell would have been the right choice here. Moulds are the same, but only Revell has the correct Decals. One of the "Greif" decals should have been only white outlines, not filled out.

Attila Papp
Well, it's hard to decide. On the vehicle's left side it looks like it was filled ([img1])
But on the right it is definitely just an outline ([img2])

Anyway, the decals of my kit are just rubbish. Maybe they are old, but they just fell apart. The "GREIF" for the left side was in such a bad shape, I could not use it... 🙁 What a pity!

Fabian D.
Exactly what I meant, left side filled out, right just outline... could have worded that differently to avoid confusion😉
If it would be of help I could provide you with a scan of said Revell decals.

Attila Papp
Thanks Fabian, I think I'll create a dio which displays the vehicle before it turned into the famous Greif. 🙂 Or at least sort of... 🙂

Building done. I'll set up my "photobooth" to take better pictures later.
