Do you know when they will be on the market?!I've seen the Cv9035 in some test shots so I suppose it will be ready soon.....but I haven't news about a Bundeswehr Fennek(slightly different from the Dutch version )of the trumpeter offer).
Do you know something?!rumors?!

For the Fennek, besides not having a 0.50 cal machine gun, how else is the German version different from Butch version?

dutch version in trumpeter offer is incorrect in the deck area(lower left side from the top)that is specific for the German version.
This is a tweaks list to correct the ducth in german made by the modeler in the link:
- replace T-shackles with U-shackles ( included in Kit)
- replace cal50 with MG3 oder GrenadeLauncher
- do not mount external tools, spare Barrel , cable drum and stowage box on the rear.
- Change antenna mounts on right side ( use E9 not F12) and on the rear
- use PE7 instead or PE8
- use B5 and B24 for small boxes on top, above side Windows
- do not use B17,PE19 and F 13,14,21,22
- add a small bracket next to the top hinge of the side door
- engaved 2 panellines on the side armor and rearrange bolt pattern
- small cutout next to the rear Fender .

This modeler did it over Missing Lynx:

So I suppose that a german version is around the corner...

Concerning the German version and to be more specific and helpful:
- replace T-shackles (A17) with U-shackles (A19)(included in Kit)
- replace cal50 with MG3 or GrenadeLauncher (NOT in the kit)
- do not mount external tools, spare Barrel , cable drum and stowage box on the rear.(do not use parts F1,F11,F5,F16,F17,F18,F25 and B16 in steps 6,7 and 22). In step 6 drill two holes on the part D43 in order to place only part E3.
- Change antenna mounts on right side (use E9 not F12)
- use PE7 instead of PE8 in step 12
- use B5 and B24 for small boxes on top, above side Windows, behind the two hatches (step 12)
- do not use B17,PE19 and F13,14,21,22 (step 15)
- add a small bracket next to the top hinge of the side door
- engaved 2 panellines on the side armor and rearrange bolt pattern
- small cutout next to the rear Fender.
I hope to see them both soon!
