About time!!!! The only one I have ever seen was by Scale Model Accessories Ltd. made out of white metal. Nice addition to any Krad models.

Nice! I think the only one available before was in 1/48.

Looks a lot like a variation of the trailer that the 2cm FLAK was carried on so modifying the Dragon, AFV Club (etc) trailer would be simple. Can't remember but the Dragon offering might even have came with it, though I might be wrong on that one. I couldn't confirm it as I couldn't find mine in my stash.

As noted by Buckeyes57, that is incorrect; Scale Model Accessories (SMA) release a Goliath with Trailer in 1/35 in the late 90s in resin and white metal (still in the stash!).

As an aside, the SMA kit is the only 1/35 kit that I know of the Sd.Kfz.303 Goliath, which is the gasoline powered version. All of the plastic kits to date from Esci/Italeri, Dragon and now Tamiya are of the Sd.Kfz.302 electric power Goliath. Although about the same size, they are completely different vehicles - different body shapes, different suspension layouts, etc.

The new CMK trailer is of a slightly different design then the SMA trailer, but since the two Goliath versions were of slightly different widths, it's possible that they each used slightly different trailers.

While it may look similar, the Goliath trailer is not. The Goliath was smaller then the 2cm Flak and was slung between both arms of the trailer (essentially, the trailer was stood up vertically, the Goliath secure to it, and the trailer then rotated downwards). The wheels were smaller then the wheels on a Sd.Ah.51 trailer and the Goliath on its trailer could be moved easily by two men.
