Here we take a look at the MiniArt release 38053 Tempo A400 Kastenwagen 3 Wheeled Delivery Box Truck in 1/35th scale.
I have to ask, as I have been wondering for some time, and as this is the umpteenth iteration of this three-wheeled special from MiniArt, not to mention so many other soft skins. Is there really a market for so many variations of such a vehicle. It’s not like they have different weapons like the 38t which came in tank, spaag, tank destroyer, and sp howitzer versions, as well as a few field mods. How many of these can a person build?
Apparently there was enough interest in the first kit to entice Miniart to make more variants.
I bought most of them but I can understand that many model builders may not be interested at all.
Speaking of three-wheelers:
I find the vehicles very interesting, but the multiple kits somewhat repetitive.
I really like this one due to the Coke finish
At a certain scale yes they look the same but if you study the kits there is lots of variations beside the decals.
Hmm yes I’ve also wondered if MiniArt’s devoting their resources in the best way. Doubtless commercially it’s more cost-effective to produce various versions of the same base kit (rather than design an entirely fresh vehicle from scratch), but it does kinda kill off any prospect of creative conversions by the model-maker.
There is still other versions they haven’t made yet.
Plus you can make a more modern version made in India from 1958 to 2000.
Plenty for the anti box option modeler to work with imho.
I am sure the Miniart will release the Tiger Feb to April version and all will be right again. 
I look forward to more Tempos and Stuart versions myself.
