I believe Panda Model had one coming out. Military version. Remember the box art but don't remember the date of release.

Ah yes! Thanks for reminding us


The release date is "not yet", but it seems to be soon ....
Modellbau König says that it will turn up in their shop somewhere mid to end of September

Hasegawa does a modern one also. They also have a track hoe and a double arm, grip and shear on tracks.

Track hoe meaning excavator? Got it. Wish there was a Caterpillar, Kubota, Case, or John Deere versions. Hitachi are great but rarer around here.

The skid steers are cool. Lots of heavy equipment don’t get the attention, I would like to see, in our scale. Yet, before I offend, we are seeing way more than back in the dark ages.
