Otter armoured car and Neucraft models

[malto cortese]

Hallo everybody, in my search for unlikely models I am looking for a 1/56 or 1/48 (I can't afford to be picky here) of the Otter armoured car. In the site I found this thread of a few years ago: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=86208.msg1070454#msg1070454 which looked very promising, but the links seem to be going nowhere. Hence my questions to the hive mind:

1) Does anyone know if Neucraft models are still with us?
2) If they are not, does anyone know if any other company produces a decent Otter?
3) And does anyone have a spare copy of the Neucraft model ? I am willing to buy one (at a reasonable price  <)

Rubicon purchased the Neucraft Models moulds AFAIK.

Thanks - just checked the Rubicon side but there seems to be no trace of the Otter

There's a 3D printed one on US eBay, but the postage is more than the model. There's this in Poland -

- which if my Google Zloty to Euros exchange skills are correct is about 13 Euros (or £11).

Wow Cubs thanks a lot - do you have any idea about this company ?

There's one on Thingiverse at 1:100, perhaps Paint and Glue Miniatures could rescale if for you and print it.

Thanks! I will explore the Polish option first but this could be an alternative, thanks a lot!

None at all, just Googling away from sheer boredom!

I asked a friend who speaks Polish to get in touch with them and they do seem to exist.. so I might give it a try..

If the Polish option does not work and you have access to a 3D printer this maybe worth a look

appears to be free...

I got a friend to print me a couple of these on his 3D printer.  I substituted the Bren and Boys with bits from other kits, but otherwise I was content with the results.  Photos on my blog here:  https://willstoysoldiers.blogspot.com/2020/03/ottiss-otter.html
