One from Latvia that I had not heard of before. Can't find a specific website though there is this: https://henk.fox3000.com/croco.htm (https://henk.fox3000.com/croco.htm)
Not my preferred scales but some of you might find these of interest:

Be rather more interested if they did an Aero Commander 680. That one could be used as a starting point for the transport version of the Bronco.

Don't think so.

It seems the 1/72 kit has been around since Nov 2017

And you can get a much smaller model of Shapeways. You could ask and see if they would scale it up (did that with the 1/72 Dodge Ram truck I bought)

Frank: Attached is an image of a one-off 1/35th M76 Otter which was sold on eBay.
I tried correcting the photo (a bit) for lens distortion but I'm not sure how accurate the model was in the first place. Perhaps inspiration for a scratch-built M76?
Rickshaw mentioned Hobby Fan ... which actually do a 1/35th M56 Scorpion (HF078). So, scratch-built M76 hull on the M56 suspension and tracks?
-
That's one ugly looking vehicle! I would need 16 1/35 car tires (or 1/48 truck tires) plus the track. One whiffing option is to use an M113 kit and add tires...
-
It is indeed! For a pure whif, any combo of tracks and tires would work.
The M113 tracks are pretty skinny. To catch to feel of the M76, though, you need reeaaally wide tracks. More Sno Cat than armoured vehicle.

1/72 Lockheed YO-3A 'Quiet Star'
Kit review (https://modelingmadness.com/scott/viet/previews/croco/yo3.htm)by Scott Van Aken
(https://modelingmadness.com/scott/viet/previews/croco/yo3bt.jpg)
Conclusion: This is a great subject and you'll probably only see this sort of thing in resin due to so few being built. For experienced short run resin builders, it will provide no challenges. I wouldn't recommend this one for a beginner due to the very fine interior parts, but the rest of us shouldn't have any major issues with it. Just take care and be sure to fully clean up and test fit each part before applying the super glue or epoxy.

I'll definitely have to get one of those hovercraft kits ----- when I was a kid my Dad took me to a Hovercraft Show near Southampton UK. we went for a ride on a SRN6 version of one of those kits.

The USN and US Army variants tempt one to consider a PGAC derivative the LCAC; something that speaks with more authority than the PACV.

Put me down for two. One for the RCN and one for the RCAF SAR.
