I'm not sure if it is an "early", "mid", or "late"; does anyone have a photo of one as a beutepanzer?

No, seriously, I imagine that some army uses these, somewhere... maybe in the sandbox?

Based on the product description, it is a fairly small excavator. It will essentially be exactly the same one they released last year, but without the second arm. I've never seen a Hitachi 135 in military service.

It is the 135 US which is part of the Hitachi "Zaxis" line. It is a fairly compact excavator but bigger than a Bobcat style mini excavator. The Hasegawa website has a small picture but if you go to the Hitachi website you will get pics and any info you need.
