I'm sure this photo is well known, however I would like to bring it to Dragon's attention. It would pair well with their endless supply of Panzer III and IVs.

I've always liked that one, but I'd be surprised if Dragon has much interest in it. A company like Meng might, though. They've already added the original Minenraumer to their line up and seem to be focusing on the odd designs.

Matt has, I think, the right idea indeed!

CyberHobby "specializes" in one-offs and odd things - consider of course that Pz II C with mine-rollers they just recently put out, or the upcoming 37mm Flak 37 auf Opel Maultier, or the upcoming Flak 43 turm auf Pz. III, or that SdKfz 250 w/ 5cm PaK 38 - which likely wasn't even really a German creation at all! CH is definitely into one-offs and odd stuff! Yeah, Meng, or, for that matter, Hobby Boss, Bronco, etc., too! But my money would be more on the D and his specialist child, CH.

IMHO, CH would be the best likely for this one - as they already have all the actual Pz. III tracks, road-gear, etc. which show up on this, and those are key steps up on any other company trying to pick this monster for developing a kit of!

Be that as it may, I would LOVE to have a good styrene kit of this and would really LOVE to add this to my cabinet of small military curiosities!

Really? I would think HobbyBoss would release such an oddity. They've already got that small, tracked armored car; Sd.Kfz. 254. Maybe Trumpeter though I'd lean more on the former for something like this. Who knows though...
