German halftrack rereleases

Today I finally opened my 1/18 Pioneerwagen and was very pleased with it. I like the fact that I have four different variant of such a greatly produced and widely used German AFV. Got me thinking though...
How much interest would there be in German halftrack variants in 1/32? For very little additional tooling 21C could do the Stuka Zu Fuss, Pakwagen, Pioneerwagen and perhaps others. Mortar carrier, ambulance, whatever would be awfully cool in my opinion. There is precedence with the Sherman mods they have made and rereleased.
Would anyone else be interested?

<center> The front suspension is too loose and flimsy. The tracks don't fit right and the drive wheels are'nt angled correctly for a decent and correct look to lay right.
End note : "The whole rear end sits too flat".</center>

I've just started buying most of the 1/18 German haqlftracks & there great & would love to see them in 1/32 scale
The ones made by FoV in 1/32 are worth getting to

We are talking 21st Century halftracks aren't we?
I would be up for some variants in 1/32 other than just the same ol' halftrack repaint.

I'd go for a 32X version of the Hanomag with the Pak mounted on top.

The Pakwagen is a conversion I have thought of doing myself, seeing as we already have the gun and the AFV. Hmmm...

Dont hold your breath! 21st hasnt even put out a hanomagg in a long time. Guess there was the Iron horse version?
I got tired of waiting and did a 7/1 piooner with a 1/35th kitt, also did a 251/23 with the turett from a 222kz.
This is one of my favorites so I wish they would do at least several, but again I just dont think its going to happen?

I would buy every one I saw, just for the sake of having a entire load of half-tracks, an important backbone in WWII. I think Hanomags are a work of art, they just have a class and sophistication that almost all other half-tracks lack. I have only one, for now. But if they re-made them, I'd be all over 'em.
