Sd.Kfz 250 Tamiya vs Dragon

[dierk]

Good evening,

Cluttering up my stash is Tamiya's Sd.Kfz 250/3 Greif - bought in about 1980. I had a look for some AM stuff, and most of the PE seems o be for he Dragon kit. My question is: are there any major dimensional differences between the Tamiya and the Dragon offering?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Dierk,

From my humble experience, the Tamiya kit is a bit larger, say 1/34th scale. Where the Dragon kit is true 1/35th.
For me I prefer the Tamiya kit. As for AM stuff, there is a host of things. Even though I loath PE, try Eduard, and even Tamiya. Plus Jaguar and Kasten tracks

The early Eduard was produced for the Tamiya kit. If you can't find it let me know, I've got the whole shooting match, and WILL NEVER build it.

Thanks for the very kind offer Thumbs Up! - I may very well take you up on it. Give me an idea of what you got and what you want for it, That way you can get shot of something you're not going to use, and I get to recycle your unwanted bits. Top Man!

Always found the Dragon 250's to be of great quality right down to the tracks . Built a few 1/35 back in the day and had loads of fun plus you always get spares

If I didn't already have the Tamiya kit, I'd consider it. But waste not want not. I've had it that long it's about time I did something with it. I'm sure I saw a picture of a Russian-captured one, but don't seem to be able to find it...the links for it is on my computer in England...about 600 miles away...
