OK, for this one, the original auction description reads,

"Sonder-Kfz.250/1 in grau.

Dies ist die wesentlich häufigere und realistischere Bemalung, da die meisten Fahrzeuge gegen Kriegsende ohne Tarnmuster und Hoheitsabzeichen eingesetzt wurden.

Dieses ist von King & Country bisher nur in der Versionen mit Tarnmuster "Sommer" veröffentlicht worden.

Figuren wurden nicht verändert.

Fälschlicherweise wird oft behauptet, diese Figuren hätten den Maßstab 1:32.

Dies ist kein Bausatz, Modell kommt wie abgebildet, komplett und bemalt, Maßstab 1:30."

which could be translated as,

"Skfz 250/1 in gray
This is the more common and realistic paint job, since most vehicles towards the end of the war were deployed without camoflage and national markings
Till now, King & Country has only released versions with the summer camoflage pattern.
The figures have not been altered.
This is not a kit, the model will be delivered as shown, complete and painted, scale 1/30"

This is a translation, I do not guarantee the accuracy of the seller's comment about camoflage on vehicles deployed at the end of the war. Perhaps he means that they were delivered from the factory to the field in the basic gray, and camoflage was applied by the field units.

The other will follow...

And for the second auction, the original description reads:

"Umgemaltes SdKfz.184 "Elefant", von 1944/45 inkl. 3 Mann Besatzung.

Wurde bisher nur in Sommer-Tarnbemalung veröffentlicht.

Es handelt sich nicht um einen Bausatz, Modell kommt wie abgebildet, komplett und bemalt, inkl. Figuren, Maßstab 1:30."

which translates to

"Unpainted Sdkfz. 184 'Elefant', from 1944/45, with a 3-man crew
Till now this has been released only in summer camoflage
This is not a kit, the model comes as shown, complete and painted, including figures, 1/30 scale"

I take his description of "ungemalt"-"unpainted" to indicate that the stock model represented a vehicle in factory paint, without camoflage, not that the model itself was not painted at all.

Hope that helps, and I welcome correction from the native German speakers, if I've made any mistakes.

Prost!

Or you could just do an eBay search of the item number which will produce the English version of the listing

I have to agree, Wayne, that's a bit rich, and then you have to figure in shipping, too.

They do look like they're nicely done, though.

Prosit!
