Great news - I've been hoping for some quality 1/35 25mm ATGs.

Somewhat off topic: Does anyone produce a 1/35th scale model of the French 75mm built by Schneider?
Mike,
Yes; but, you have to like resin...
The options for a WW1 version with steel rimmed wooden wheels are:
Commander Models 1-038 - RESIN - currently available
DES Kit 35042 - RESIN - currently available
RPM - 35007 - STYRENE - unsure about availability
TOM Modellbau 01 - STYRENE - out of production
I have all but the RPM in my stash and am trying to figure out how to proceed to get an accurate and detailed model.
There are also a number of inter-war / early days of WW2 examples. IBG just released one with rubber rimmed wooden tires in styrene. I have it on order and may kit bash it with wheels and other parts from my other kits.
For this weapon being a revolutionary technological change that forced a turn-of the-century arms race, it is amazing that it is so poorly represented.
If I have time, I'll write up a review on the IBG kit when it arrives.
