Some rather interesting models offered by this company in resin of things that are not the main focus of most modelers. 

This latest offering from MiniManFactory is the 1/35th scale PTS-M tracked amphibious cargo carrier.

PTSM is very nice & I've been after one for a few years now but hopefully someone will do it in plastic ???

I'll only buy one if it comes with its amphibious trailer too :P

Well I must admit to having a certain fondness for the PTS/PTS-M as I can recall looking at quite a great many of the things in the former Democratic Republic of East Germany where there were large numbers of these things that had to be kept under close scrutiny.  As one of the few to have had that honor of looking at imagery derived from the Creek Misty program as part of the intelligence and warning infrastructure back in the day.  Any major river crossing required a lot of these vehicles to transport certain units so they were always on the list of things to report on as to whether they were in garrison or out in their training areas.

If you're quick you can still buy a 1:1 scale version in the Czech Rep. ...... going fast, not many left in running condition.
