Kätzchen APC in 28mm?

[Weird WWII]

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,

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.

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.

Either or, I'm interested.

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.

I'm printing out a 1/48 version of the kit, as well as 1/48 versions of the UHU and Flake as well...

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.   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?

I agree in 1/56th.

[CompanyB]

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.

All the fixin's are in the kitchen. 

Also anyone up for a VK1602 Leopard recce tank  ? 

The master is in progress.

Now back to my unwinding time. 

Cheers and Merry Christmas !!

[Aldramelech]

Yep, wouldn't say no to that either.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but is there any news on the Kätzchen?

[jtrnka]

Working on it and some variants.
