Sadly not that I know of....

Other than SdKfz 222, not really, although Chieftain does a lovely Stoewer car...

the Stoewer should be a Kfz 1 (light standard car). Kfz 11 etc. where medium standard cars, sadly I haven't seen any in 1^/56

@TadPortly - sorry just saw your remark at the end of the BAM about non availability of these!

I'm sure that there is a vehicle manufacturer that is/was willing to accept commissions if there is enough guaranteed sales - can anyone remeber who this is/was?

Would there be much interest in this if I can find out who it is?

Another vehicle I would be interested in would be the 6 wheeled Sdkfz 231 which was around fromthe very early 1930s I think.

Well, given a decent set of plans (PM them over?), I'd happily make a master for BAM. I'm currently finishing up the (long-awaited) Hetzer, and claim responsibility for the SdKfz 250...

I think George Bradford has plans for the Kfz13 what scale would you need them to 1/56th?

I'll see what I can find out.

He does the 6 wheeled Sdkfz 231 - any chance of that? ;)

I think he can print them to any scale if you ask.

Yup- 1:56th would be perfect. I can reduce them myself, though, if need be.

The 231? That would cost a fair bit to get my interest- I'm more of a late-war guy!

Cool- I'll hurry along the projects I'm busy with so I can clear some space for the Kfz 13/14...

Hi Tadportly,

I was cruising through a site looking for 1/48th scale WW1 planes for the Middle-East and came up with an amazing find for your needs in KFZs in 1/48th scale:

Now I'm sure a little search in your area will reveal all!

Hope this suits your needs 8)
Best wishes,
Helen
