tl;dr:

Somehow I remembered the A3 being the most recent version but to be honest I didn't check it when I wrote it so you're more than welcome to correct me

Well ... I don't want to be an idiot.

Sorry if I sounded too smart ass. Since you can't buy a 1/48 or 1/56 Marder 1A3 or 1A4 or 1A5 anyway, I think the whole discussion is rethorical anyway.

Only thing I can say in my defence is, that I sat on a 1A3 long enough to notice the difference and be a jerk about it. Again, sorry if I offended.

Our G wagon is enroute. Model kits are cast, I'm waiting for delivery. That would be for the standard G-wagon with hard top, and the armored military variant used by German and US special forces.

Good news indeed.

the G wagon is stocked. finalizing the buy buttons today, but it's $26.50.

I have masters of the standard Mercedes Wolf (just different metal bits for the G wagon), and the Weisel both 20mm and TOW versions as well. Those will be out in June/July

Looking into another German vehicle to do next.

Brent... link us baby link us!

To tide us over heres a vid of the Marder IFV including clips of Afghanistan... soundtrack is rather poor though

G Wagon LIV available now:

I'll have enough stock of the civilian version (which can be converted) by next week.

Without really planning to we will actually end up with IFV and Support vehicles for several countries by the end of summer. I probably should do the marder IA just to keep the the theme going since we do need to have a German IFV to even the lines out. The Mercedes will be officially released tonight. Maybe the Marder 1A will be next, but I do like that Boxer. I may just 3D print several options and see what resonates.

I would vote for the Boxer. It is one of those cool looking near future vehicles that will fit not only into today’s conflicts but also into something like “Alien vs Predator”. And if you made it as modular as the real world vehicle you have several vehicles on one basis…
(I have to admit that I am a bit of a fan of the Boxer since I had the opportunity to crawl into one during an open day of the German Defence Ministry...)

Oh and BTW: There is no Weisel, it is Wiesel (= weasel)…

CompanyB · « **Reply #24 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:05:59 AM »

I like the Boxer as well. But, this one is a must: Unimog 401
I have a couple in 1/43. Very useful I think, and small enough to be relatively cheap to produce.

Ok, So anyone have blueprints of the Marder 1A and Boxer?

And suddenly, again without actually trying, Company B will end up specializing in Modern German kit. I need to stop reading this forum

What about a CV90?

Good base for both apc's and ifv's for both modern/near future and sci fi.

Woohoo! Score! Saves me making one myself from plasticard.

Thanks for the link, it's a beauty - is it available in the UK... CP I think does you stuff maybe?

I've got a mix of LAM & Eureka Germans on the workbench at the moment. The modern camo is fun.

CompanyB · « **Reply #28 on:** May 23, 2012, 11:50:54 PM »

WCP carries our kits in the UK and you can probably ping him to get a few on his next restock. We do have a good number of new releases both Modern and WW2, with more coming in a few weeks, so I imagine that these will make their way to WCP in June.

Good news indeed. Thanks. I've just emailed Bob to get one and that rather special bearcat.
