Well, heck early war armor period. I was thinking about doing something pre PzKpfw III L. I know Tamiya has the L, and Dragon has a Beo....whatever...the command tank K, but doesn't anyone make anything earlier? I was thinking about a France theme...no this has nothing to do with current events. but funny no? Does anyone make any conversions to earlier stuff? I am not looking to go into anything wicked tough, it would be my first bash.
Then maybe a tauchpanzer....hmmm....

Thanks

Actually, DML has done most of the early war Panzer III's that actually saw combat. This includes the Pz III E, Tauchpanzer, Pz III H. (Most of these kits are sort of hard to find, but they do show up on E-bay very regularly)

There is also a pretty reasonably priced all resin kit of the Pz III A from Soveriegn miniatures.

Later,

DML Has the Pz III J, TauchPanzer, Panzer III G, and a couple more I think. The are all pre-L.

And DML Panzer III series are real nice too.

DML is supposed to re-issue the Pz111, Ausf E. A great kit that goes together quite well and has a ton of left over parts for the parts bin.

I'm going to buy at least two when it is available as you can use this kit to make several varients.
