Looking mean and clean so far. I've not seen such and animal as this before. Is it a prototype?

It is indeed a prototype, hence the kit is a bit plain. I added some stuff from the spares box to make it into a believable "what if".

Those little details really make this look like at least a testing or even in-service vehicle. Curious to see the paintjob on this one 👍
As for the vehicle, it was quite an interesting attempt to "rationalize" vehicles in the 20t-class previously filled by Panzer III, IV-derived vehicles made in 1944. The tank variant was among the earlier ones to be dropped, as focus went towards the Jagdpanzer-variant of it mounting the 75mm L/70. This latter vehicle had a hull in construction when the whole Panzer III/IV was cancelled in late ´44 if I remember correctly. The running gear for this was tested on a Hornisse/Hummel (another vehicle technically combining Panzer III and Panzer IV elements)

Thank you and welcome on board Tom B! Yes it is an interesting vehicle indeed, especially if you have a weak spot for what ifs like I do 😉
