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.

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

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.

1/56 scale Kätzchen moulds are completed test pulls being done. Then it's on to the 1/48 scale version. :)

Are you planning on multiple variants in 1/48th scale, or just the basic APC?

Look forward to seeing what ya came up with,
Brian
