I want my late war Germans to have the very best that the Reich can provide, and in 1949 that means no Hanomags - they want APCs! We'll leave those halftracks to the technically underdeveloped armies...
Seriously though, is this vehicle made in 28mm?
I've been looking everywhere I can think of ...found it in 20mm, 1/144 and even 1/286 but not in 28mm or rough equivalent (ie 1/56)
-
As discussed in this thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=8760.0) (and still state of knowledge two years on), there are no Kätzchen kits in a suitable scale. Your best bet would probably getting one of Tamiya's Panzer 38-based tank hunters and using the running gear with a scratch-built hull.

Thanks for the update Chris, despite the bad news... :'(
What did you end up using for transport for your Weird War Fallschirmjägers?

*Cough*
As I never finished more than two squads of powered armour, a squad of infantry and a squad of rocket troops before my immediate interest petered out, the necessity did not arise (mainly because nobody in my area was interested in 3W2). I actually finished a paper model, the first test build of which looked decent enough, but I don't have it on this computer - otherwise, I would have uploaded it.
-
I figured I'd ask this here rather than wasting a new thread with a similar question:
Does any company make a 1/48 (or so) British Challenger A30 Avenger? Or failing that, a Challenger that could be converted to such without too much fuss?
-
Where'd you find it in 20mm?

Well - that happens to us all doesnt it (with alarming frequency in my case!)
If you find the paper model, I'd be very keen to get the file - thanks Chris

About the only place to get anything weird, rare or 1/48 is the French company, Quarter Kit. Most is resin with great details but can get pricey for the bigger, rarities but a great company and product to buy from.

Hi Brian - didnt you have a plan at one stage to produce a Kätzchen APC?
Looks like the market is still wide open for you! (hint hint :D)
-
Its all about cash my friend and I ain't got any right now. :'(
But you never know what will happen in the future,

Found a 1/76 version by Fine Cast Models here:
http://www.united-fun.com/shop1/index1.html
(http://www.united-fun.com/shop1/index1.html)
look under #Panzer 38 (1/76)
Yeah, I get it Brian. I just want some now is all :)
-
It's a shame no one is doing paper panzers in 28mm. There'd be a market, I too am bothered by the high tech that stops at tracked vehicles.
-
the 3D model for this is already 80% complete. It's just a matter of detailing and fiddling with the way it gets put together for casting. I will post the print as soon as we complete it.
Since it's in digital form, all sorts of scale versions can be printed if there really was demand for it. Probably 1/48, 1/56 and 15mm

I was kind of gunning for 1:56 myself.

I think something in both scales can be arranged. :)

Ok,OK for the manufacturer identifiable challenged who is making this and in what scale? I see Company B,JFTM, and SB MiniaturesGuy so who is who?
I need a half dozen of these for my poor German PG in 1/48 or 1/50 hell 1/56 would do I guess.
Also wasn't there another thread with a suggestion for another APC looked like a Panther with no turret?
Maybe I was dreaming o_o

Yes, I'm involved through the Company B side.
-
Cool beans guys.I have a couple of Jeff's German arty pieces and Co B's Itai 90mm gun truck so I'm sure I'll be happy with the quality of this APC too!
Thanks Pete
PS I thought this one was based off a 38t chasis..my bad.
-
This is my wish list
x4 Kitten APCs
x2 Kitten 81mm Mortar Carriers
x2 Kitten with 20mm "Schwebenlafette" Type
x1 Kitten Ambulance
x1 Kitten IR Spotlight
x2 Kitten Pioneer
x1 Kitten Command/Radio
That should do me just fine. IR Upgrades for the LMG and drivers position and internal and external stowage would be a bonus but, I'm not greedy.
Can't wait to see a couple Leopard light tanks to replace those outdated SdKfz 234 series of armored cars as recon.
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/kampfgruppecottrell/WWII/82460.jpg)
My dog-faced GIs could use a another non-produced vehicle in 1/48, the M39 AUV. That would be another unique market dominator in the scale and just a cool little APC for the Allies.
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/kampfgruppecottrell/WWII/M39.jpg)
I'm getting greedy but if you build them they will come,
Brian
-
I've been wanted to do the M39, seeing as we already have the Hellcat. So the master model is 80% done ;-) It would be 1/56 though since that is what we have for the tracks and other parts already. I could possibly be motivated to do the M39, The Hellcat, and the 90mm Super hellcat in 1/48 as well. If the Katzchen finds an audience, then that would probably be enough incentive.
For the M39, a minor issue is something for it to tow. But the fact that we also have the M8 Priest sort of solves that problem as well... Anyone need 105mm US Arty?
-
The M39 was used for just about everything during Korea so I could easily see it used as an APC similar to the Kangaroo in straight late WWII, Korea and most defiantly in Weird WWII. I am actually surprised that the Kangaroo isn't used by more Allied players with the hull of a Ram, Sherman or whatever they are using it from since it beats the armor on any 1/2 track or fully tracked APC the Allies deployed in WWII. And with the Canadian's modified mg turret on their models it looks sweet to boot!
Let loose the Panzer porn!
Brian
-
;D ;D ;D ;D I want them all.......
-
.... APC looked like a Panther with no turret?....
We're doing this as a Co.B and JTFM cooperative venture....
Just to clarify, is this the Katzchen APC being made?
I really hope so...

I have tracks to do both suspensions, 38T and panther.
-
Ahh now I see then.I was looking at the 2nd post in this thread and there is a link in it to ANOTHER thread that has a picture of a 20mm Katzchen and it looked too small to be based on a panther(to me anyway).
So there are two of them .
Pete
And that US APC is WAYY cool too!
-
Just in case any potential manufacturer is wondering, I'm still in the market for some of these bad boys! ;D
-
Masters already done. Casting to begin in Dec.
Here it is next to a JTFM Halftrack. Joint JTFM and CompanyB model.
Company B

-
BRILLIANT!!!! ;D
-
Oooooo I want one! :o
-
Very nice. Looking forward to getting several.
So maybe you could do a corresponding M39 for the Americans?
-
Great idea, we'll look into that!!
-
Sweet!
-
Very very nice
-
I'm hoping to have the master within the next couple of weeks. Then I can start casting the beast. :)
Jeff @ JTFM / Die Waffenkammer
-
Jeff
How many pieces are in this?
Is it 1/48 or 1/56?
Thank you
-
I don't have the master yet so, pieces just by what I know, are the hull, 2 tracks, and 2 or 3 of the IR pieces.....
I'll be incorporating what I can, like everything I cast, to cut down on assembly.
The current master is 1/56 scale to fit in with what we already produce but it can be scaled up to a 1/48 scale master which I think is already in the printing phase. Brent would know more about that.
Cheers,
Jeff
-
You got 10 guaranteed sales in the 1/48 from me. Any chance you might do some conversion for it like the 251? Maybe a 20mm cannon (251/17 or late war 251/10), assault bridges (251/7) or 37mm at gun (251/10)? You could pretty much mimic the 251s upgrades to the Kitten. Could even add a Wave Cannon, Tesla Gun, X7 Launcher or just about any WWWII weapon platform you can think of.
Look forward to the 1/48,
Brian
-
Yep, a scout version with a 20mm turret would be great.
-
It's not a problem to do it in 1/48.
The question though is as a full kit, or as a conversion for the Tamiya Hetzer. We'll need to invest more time in recreating the tracks and suspension for a full 1/48 kit.
I'll take a look tonight at the size. I have quite a few 1/48 Hetzers built up.
-Brent
-
Either way would be a hit. Don't know of ANYONE doing the Kitten or even a conversion for it in 1/48. You would corner both the wargaming and modeling market on it out of the shoot. I think it would be a crowd pleaser for all lovers of paper panzers and WWWII.

I own the Tony Ashcroft 1/48 scale 251/D master so you just might see that in the New Year if I can pursuade Brent to get the 1/48 scale Katzchen master printed. ;)

Brent and I can figure something out for the 1/48 scale track. :)
2012 will be quite the year for WWWII tuff I'm thinking.
Jeff @ JTFM/Die Waffenkammer
-
I'm printing out a 1/48 version of the kit, as well as 1/48 versions of the UHU and Flake as well...
-Brent
-
Another instant sale across the board would be a German IR vehicle conversion set. I am not aware of anyone making the vehicle spotlights, scopes, LMG combo or the cupola mounted combination in 1/48 anywhere. You put out a resin pack of that stuff and everyone and their brother will have IR for their Germans, pissing off the historical realists. :D This will also give the modelers their long sought after conversion for their 1/48 stuff as well. Then you could do up some 60s NATO spotlights to counter it and then night wargaming will have a whole new aspect of play. Then the E75s, E100s and M39s show up and you retire millionaires off your line and WWWII get bigger and bigger.
What a game plan huh? :D

I agree in 1/56th.
-
1/48 versions of our UHU and Falke IR sight are also being printed.
For the turret, I've turned up some images of it mounted the plan of record Lynx turret (Puma). Any other images of this? pretty straight forward, as JTFM already has that model.
A 1/48 version would not be too hard.

Not a problem to modify this.

The master is in progress. :D

Yep, wouldn't say no to that either.

Hi,
I second this. It isn't easy to be patient with all the nice DUST miniatures waiting for worthy transport.

I hope all 4 variants will be available in 1/48th scale. I REALLY am looking forward to adding these to my WWWII German Forces (SOTR, DUST). Can't wait to pick some up.

I am working on them all. Just slow ATM as I have loads of casting to get done.

Jeff,
Thank you for the update.
-
Yes, thanks for the update, eagerly await the results.
-
If there is anything else in our lineup that would be on a 1/48 want list, I'm listening.
Quite a few models are getting reworked using the 3D prototyping route for future updates.
Brent
Company B
-
Everything!
Ah well then....
The Semovente 90/53.
I was really going to get a couple in 1/56 but when I saw them I knew they would look mental with all my 1/48 stuff.
And chaffees and oh oh those awesome multipart Stuarts you guys have been doing
-
I can think of a couple of items off the top of my head that I would love in 1/48th scale. Some of the German "paper panzers" would be great, like an E-25, an E-50, or a Pz-VII Lowe. A Waffentrager w/ pak 43. A Humber "pig" APC. A BRDM-1 scout car. A BTR-40. A M41 Walker Bulldog (of course you would also "HAVE" to do a M42 Duster) ;) A Centurian Mk III. A MRAP would be awesome, too!
-
My bad! I was running off my wishlist. :? From your current line, I would like to see the Katzchen, BTR-40, BTR-152, WC-51, M24, and HoNi SPG in 1/48th. ;D
-
I would love a Kätzchen in 1/48, it would be really nice to have.
-
It's quite possible for me to have these cast in 1/48 if demand is high enough. Maybe a kickstarter or something similar. It would be nice to know the sales are actually there! I guess my other option is a shapeways shop. But the digital prints go through a intensive scratch-build and detailing by hand as well. so you'd miss out compared to the 1/56 models if its just a straight print.
Current finished masters that can be printed in 1:48
M3A3
BTR-152
BTR-40
BTR-50
Wiesel
Mercedes LIV
Mercedes G Wagon
Toyota Land Cruiser
1938 VW
Type 1 halftrack
M11/41
Upcoming 1/56 digital models in progress that could be offered as well:
M5A1 (rework similar multipart as the M3A3)
Chi-Ha (rework for command, Shinhoto and HoNi as well)
E-25
M41
Toyota Hilux with dual camper back options
-
I'd be all in for a "kickstater". I would purchase 3 to 4 of the Katzchen apc, and be interested in quite a few of the other possible 1/48th scale models too. Heck, I'd settle for a decent Katzchen conversion for the Tamiya Hetzer in 1/48th at this point! My Dust and SOTR grenadiers await! :D
-
What I would love to see in addition to the 1/48 Katzchen would be a stummle Katzchen varient in 1/48, either as an add-on kit or a stand alone model.
See these pics below from Agis' excellent 15mm posts.

I'd be up for 8 or so but gotta see the kit before throwing down the cash.

1/56 scale Kätzchen moulds are completed test pulls being done. Then it's on to the 1/48 scale version. :)
Cheers,
Jeff @ JTFM Enterprises / Die Waffenkammer
-
Awesome news gentlemen! Awesome news! I'll have to do some overtime to save for these. :-* :-* :-*
-
I will have 7 variants for this one in 1/56 scale. :)
-
Are you planning on multiple variants in 1/48th scale, or just the basic APC?
-
There will be variants for the 1/48 scale version as well :)
-
I'd love to see a 1/48 "Stumpy" version too and also an Owl, Falcon, Suspended Mount 20mm, Pioneer and Command version.
Look forward to seeing what ya came up with,
Brian
-
That's great! I'm soooo waiting for these to be released. Looking forward to getting my hands on some. Hopefullly, one variant will be a mortar carrier.
-
I will try to make as many variants as the SdKfz.251 had ;).
-

Brian
Huh?
I am missing the point. I assume something that has to do with the SdKfz.251 variants. :-)
Grimm
-
Let me see if I can translate. ;) I think "stumpy" refers to the 7.5cm stummel support variant. The Owl I believe is the UHU infra-red search light carrier. Falcon I don't recognize, but my best guess is the night vision equipped apc that partners with the "UHU". The supended 20mm mount is the turret used for the 250/9 neu recce haltrack, 38T recce tank, and the 234/1 armored car. Unlike the turret on the 222 armored car, it did not need a pedestal mount, as the weapon was suspended from the turret itself. The pioneer variant would be like the 251/7 with assault bridges and engineer equipment. The command variant would probably be similar to a 251/3 equipped with extra radios, or maybe a 251/10 platoon leaders vehicle with a Pak 3.7cm cannon.
-
Hi. My name is FATROC and I'm a treadhead..... lol
-
Around of applause to FATROC from a fellow treadhead!
Brian
PS
Would also love to see a Kitten armed with the X7 ATGM! Since its new tech and not quite Sagger size, the Kitten would make a fantastic platform for this new weapon of war. After all the Little Red Riding Hood just sounds like it needs to be mounted on a Kitten anyway.
-
I'm still in for some in 1/48.Especially the short 75mm variant X2.
20mm turreted would work also and I could maybe use those extra Puma turrets I have(left over from the Sdkfz 233 conversion kits) to convert a couple more.Not sure if that was ever planned but its Weird War afterall.So thats 3 more...so lets get cracking lol
How about one with a open topped PAK 40? I have these for the Sdkfz 251 and Puma from QuarterKit.I guess I could just get more conversion kits from them to do it.So thers another.
Man this is going to get exspensive.
Pete
-
I would love to order at least 4 1/48 Kia as well.
-
These are going to make a great addition to WWWII gaming! They'll look awesome next to my E-100.
-
Any word on these?
-
Working on them while wading through a mountain of casting.....
-
Thank you for the update.
-
has anyone thought about this vehicle to use, since it's an alternate timeline anyway and it belongs to the family?

That's very good news - and good looking so far.
I hope there will be some more detailing on the upside of the tracks.

A few more details left to add. :)
-
looks fantastic! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Just the tracks left to finish detailing now.
Added a few more exterior bits. Tools, antenna mount, tow cable, driver's falke spot light.
Interior bits. Radio, radio operator's seat, interior door detail.
Into a mould with it by the end of the week. :)
-
Hi Jeff,
that is very good news.
Elmar
-
Once this is in prodcution the first 2 variants I'll be making available will be usable as Recce or IFV type vehicles.
-
Will you also be offering variants in 1/48 eventually?
-
it depends on if they are wanted.
-
Hi Jeff,
for me the scale of choice for WWW II is 1:48. I will use the Kätzchen with the DUST stuff wich is done in 1:48 too. I believe there are many others out there with the same idea.
So please do them in 1:48 too, if the demand /response is big enough.
Ciao
Elmar
PS: I would buy 3 at least
-
I use 1/48 and 1/50 scale vehicles for SOTR49 and DUST. I know it's all personal preference, but they just seem to work better with the "heroic" minis. I would like at least three of the apc version, and at least one of any other variants (depending on type). At this point, I'd settle for a conversion kit for a 1/48 hetzer!! o_o
-
All I have left to do for the 1/48 scale version is to master the tracks. I might just release the 1/48 scale SdKfz.251/D I purchased the master for, from Tony Ashcroft, at the same time.
-
I'm still in for a couple in 1/48 and a stummel version at the very least.Probably more if there is a turreted version with a 20mm.
-
There will be 2 turreted versions.

I would like at least three of the apc version, and at least one of any other variants (depending on type). At this point, I'd settle for a conversion kit for a 1/48 hetzer!! o_o
Interesting idea. I didn't check if the master fit existing 1/48 Hetzer and 38T tracks, but I bet it would. Something to think about Jeff, if all you need to do is release the hull. I think I also have some 1/48 masters for an MG-42, German jerry cans, and assorted parts here somewhere.
A big issue though is that Tamiya is winding down their 1/48 line. Is the Hetzer still available or is it retired?
-
Master complete and ready for moulds.
I am starting to take preorders. The model will be $30.00 CAD or under. Contact me at info@diewaffenkammer.com for more info.

Cheers !
-
Are pre-orders available in both scales, or are you just starting with 1/56? Looks awesome by the way.
-
Currently only in 1/56 scale.
-
The Katzchen is going into moulds this weekend. I'm taking pre-orders.
-
Any word on these? Could we get an update?
-
There will be something to show next week. I've been bogged down with casting and mould replacement...
There will be the APC and at least mock ups of 2 turreted variants.
Cheers,
Jeff
-
Thanks for the info! I am really looking forward to these. ;D
-
Any news on the 1/48 model?
Brian
-
Bump. What Brian said. :)
-
I gave up on this in July.Even if they do come out not sure I'm going to get any.
-
I'm working as fast as I can with the time I have. This is not my only project, plus I have loads of casting orders to fill...
Sorry,
Jeff @ JTFM Enterprises/Die Waffenkammer
-
I don't mind waiting for the typical quality of your models. :P I'm looking forward to the 1/48 kits to field in my SoTR platoons. :)
-
Me too ...
Take the time needed to build and produce the models in the high quality we love. At least 3 Kätzchen in 1:48 will go to Germany then.

Ditto (Elladan), certainly 3+ required here (though 1/56 for me).
-
Sorry for the threadomancy, but are there any updates on this?
I asked Company B how their prototype was going (which they put WIP pics of in 2011) but sadly they said that its been pushed well down their priority list... :'(
-
It's kind of sad. With Dust, and now the SOTR II kickstarter, I'm sure there would be a market.
-
I'm still in for at least 4 of these bad boys with several as mortar carriers, IR Spotlight and AA versions.
The mouth still waters,
Brian
-
Ditto!
It would be neat to have some of the Hanomag armament options available too, like the 75mm gun on the Stumble
-
All kinds of Kätzchen are on the way I've just been very very busy with other projects and casting.

Your stuff is well worth waiting for Jeff!

Oh Happy Happy Day!

That is fantastic news! (Hope the being busy means your business is doing well.) Been waiting for these. I hope you are still planning on offering them in 1/48 scale. Need four basic and one each of whatever other versions you release! :D
-
Time for my annual threadomancy on this topic and ask, hopefully, if this product line might see the light of day soon? Please? Pretty please? :D
This thread has had 40,000 views so there must be some interest 8)
-
Agreed! My panzergrenadiers are either walking, bein trucked in or stealing the air assault FJ's Dragons. I need me some kick ass 1/48 kittens!
Brian
-
Yup, still waiting with open wallet, people are starting to give me funny looks...(should probably be indoors.)
-
If they every make one in 1/48 scale, I'll probably end up buying a dozen or more! ;D
-
Come on, Jeff. Please do us the favour to let us throw money at you ;)

Yeah, now should be a great time to launch the Kätzchen, with Konflikt '47 doing the rounds. WW2 still going around in 1947 would be a great motive to have some "Paper Panzers" in our forces.
-
I'll maybe post my German forces here at the end of the week maybe once I've had some more painted, but to awkwardly slide myself into this thread (...my hope peaks every time I see a new post here for an eventual release :'(), I've a Rubicon Hetzer I'll start converting into a Kätzchen once its hopefully delivered tomorrow. :)
-
Wyrmalla - take lots of pics of the build, I would love to see how you do it.
-
Again, not to thread jack, but here's my own Kätzchen made from a Rubicon Hetzer, sitting about 90% done bar some details and general tidying (I'm out of greenstuff, so some of the bits are really chunky looking because I'm stuck with milliput unfortunately).
(http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/8/11/819498_md-WIP%20K%26Atilde%3B%26curren%3Btzchen%20APC.JPG)
I'll post it painted in my own thread. This is the rough one, another will turn up eventually, but working off of established measurements instead of trial and error (i.e. all that gap filling).
Oh, and the good thing about that Rubicon kit? You get two sets of tracks, so you can scratch build the lower and upper hulls and have two APCs (or an APC and a Hetzer) out of one box. :)
-
Nice start, way better than anything I could ever do! Can't wait to see your Weird War thread.
-
Looks good, look forward to the thread.
-
So, any news on the 1/48 version of this? Been patiently waiting for like years with the possibility of such a product.
Would love a definite yes or no on the project.
If no, I might just be on the lookout for a crowdfunder for this thing in 1/48.
Wonder if anyone would be in for such a project?
