What are my options for 1940's gas powered , portable air compressors in 1/35 th ? Preferably German .
..along the lines of the Mirror Model's US Army Kellogg offering.
I can always scratch-bash , but I'll pay for something OOB .
Cheers

Doubtful, it's been a while, but I distinctly recall seeing the compressor on BNA, under Tank's lineup. I've just rechecked BNA model website and can no longer find it under Tank, but here is a link that shows it as a new release.

Possibly discontinued mate.

Tamiya/Italeri has a compressor in the field maintenance set.

Tank is a Russian company making resin figures and accessories (v good they are too). You may have seen it rendered as TAHK, which is the Cyrillic version.

I had seen the Mirror Models Kellogg compressor and the Tamiya set prior -- I just wasn't too impressed .
They'll need some upgrades , I was hoping someone offered a more detailed example .
Thanks for the input

The TANK (TAHK) model looks suspiciously similar to the Italeri/Tamiya one.

Yeah ,
I saw that one also - they have it at Scale Hobbyist ( one of my favorite sources BTW
)
It's electric motor drive though .
I'm ordering the Tamiya/Italeri set ( there's a whole lotta other stuff in there I'd like ) and the Mirror Models ( 2 for 10 bucks , who can complain ) and just do some upgrade work on em -. Maybe use parts from each . I'll just have to see
