I have a mostly-finished M33 tractor conversion just waiting for that 8-inch gun and transport wagon!

When Panda released the Buffalo MPCV, Husky Mk III VMMD and HMEE-1, I was hoping for the PEROCC as well but it never happened. Also surprised Bronco never released one either seeing they also released the Buffalo MPCV as well. Maybe Zimi will consider releasing it.

PEROCC is a project from Pearson, but I thought it wasn´t fielded in any Army. While ubercool, you can´t get any reference to build a decent model kit.
PEROCC in motion.

Will also work on a Star Wars, Sci-Fi or Zombie scenario. How about crushing some Trade Federation droids?

Yes, you are correct. It has not been fielded yet. I first saw images of it maybe 7-8 years ago so thought it would be fielded by now but still a cool subject to have in 1/35.

Well if anyone Europe did get a reference it would be you, so I guess it ain’t happenin’ soon.

The Pearson Engineering video is AMAZING! The shape of this vehicle is incredible, as are its capabilities.
It’s interesting that the only way inside is climbing through the roof hatches, but this PEROCC should make for a very interesting display on anyone’s modern armor model kit collection.

First, I commend Zimi on the PLA-AFT-10. It looks like a very nice build of a interesting PLA vehicle.
Second, I also like what ZIMI did with the DML ZSU-23-4 kits. The new pieces included to make the more modernized version was a good choice.
Third, I would love to see a 1/35 M992 FAASV made. I promise to buy at least 4.
Fourth, here is some advice for some of those old DML Molds: retire the BMP-1, T-80, T-72, and BTR kits. Leave them to Zvezda. They are so dimensionally inaccurate it is not worth your time to upgrade them at all.
I look forward to more of your kits in the future.

I sure agree about that T-72.
Which verson of the M992 do you like the best?

I did three deployments with a route clearance unit and these were never even mentioned so I don’t think they made it very far into development.

Too bad it was never fielded as it is a very cool subject.

M992A1 for the 1980’s/90’s. The M992A2 would also be acceptable.

I would like an opportunity to purchase a Dragon 1/35 SPG sIG33 auf Pz III Fahrgestell with hard plastic tracks replacing the soft plastic tracks.
According to Scalemates, four releases exist, one in 2023, but based on a quick search, they are not around, certainly not in the United States.

Have you tried Ali Express?

Keep watching eBay; one just sold a month ago. They drift in and out.
I have an extra but it’s Dragon 6042; the first release from 1995. It has hard plastic tracks but you have to de-sprue and clean them up.

@18Bravo I have never purchased anything from Ali Express because the prices are so high but do check it fairly often for hard to get stuff. No joy on that specific vehicle.
@brekinapez Yeah. Everything eventually shows up on eBay but the prices are usually very high. The one that sold a month ago was $70 US plus tax and shipping. The version from 1995 is Imperial Series, not the new tool version from 2011.

A problem with DHGate and AliExpress is the illegitimate cookies that track you.
Unless you have an antivirus and firewall software installed, there’s a lot of hackers and cyber-junk on those websites that antivirus and firewall software identify and warn you not to proceed further. I’m getting off-topic of this thread though…

Thank you for even considering the idea. It is not a pressing need. I do watch eBay almost every day and regularly purchase older models I missed.
I was under the impression this discussion was partly about what Dragon molds we, as model builders, would like to see back in use. Dragon was always heavily focused on World War II German vehicles and released many unusual subjects. I would enjoy the opportunity to collect more of those unusual vehicles. Slowly.
I built models between 2006 and 2010, then again between 2003 and today. I missed a lot of stuff.
