I seem to recall someone put out an injection molded model of german infantry assault ladder based on panzer iv chassis. I thought it was trumpeter. But I can't find any such kit. Am I mistaken?

Yes, I have that one. It's a bridge layer. But it's not the one I was thinking about. I was thinking about a fire ladder like vehicle with an extensible ladder for infantry to assault fortifications.

I understand... well, I don't recall Trumpeter having that vehicle in production. Maybe you saw it once as a conversion or a scratch built model?
