Hi,
I can't comment on tis Revell kit, although I have built them before and they are not too bad. I have the Tamiya version of this kit and it has European Theatre colour schemes and markings in the box.
If the Revell kit does not have these it would be very easy to improvise from spares off old kits, I have loads of spare decals from various kits in a box in the garage and could help you out if necessary.

My guess is that it's someone elses kit. Revell Germany doesn't make too many of their own kits anymore and typically reboxes others.

I built the kit. Decals went on without a problem. The track is a pain, but no great challenge. They provide an engine, but leaving it out does not detract from the model. Nice, quick kit to build.

That is DML kit repacked. I don't have this one, but I have another version, as well as the 251. But are very good.

The DML engine is a separate kit though.

Thank you all for quick replies! Im gonna go for it

I found an article saying its an re-boxed ESCI kit, and since ESCI gave two markings sets one for africa and one for eastern front, i think im gonna go for panzer-grey especially sine i need it for a little dio

I think track links will not be the problem, since i recently finished a maquette Pzkpfw 38(t) so i guess i can do this one too

Well, DML or ESCI, its gonna be mine

I have got the kit myself (actually three of them, as base for conversions).

It is the Dragon rebox, and by the looks of it, superb.

As for the unitsmarkings provided:

Afrika Korps Tobruk (1942), Rommel's "Greif"
Panzergruppe von Kleist, summer 1942.
Grosßdeutschland Pz.Grenadier Division, 1942

All the Ostfront versions are in Panzergrau.

Good luck with your build,
Harm
