Looks nice but before spending your precious moolah be advised Das Werk are soon to release a 1/16 Half Track which has been previewed on Andy's Hobby HQ. It looks a beaut too.

1/16 now seems to be the "go to" standard for armour - indeed MV' in general!
In which case I want to state - upfront - my demands for the following in 1/16:
* An AEC Militant Mk1 6x6
so I can remember the joy of face planting out of the cab after tripping on the 6x6 lever in a diorama. Or hurtling down the Haartz mountains in silent 6th screaming the head off and pursued by the Polizei (will also need a pair of 1/16 1970's BAOR driver)
A Bedford RLW.
so I can recreate the scene of 2 hissed as newt RCT drivers stretching the winch cable across the A44 to recover their RL sitting on its side in a ditch (don't ask!) Will need 2 figures as above
An OT-90.
Spoilt for choice of dioramas of people who fell out of/off of mine. Will need some 1/16 Soviet troops in M88 Afghanka.

I already "pre-ordered" purchased the Das Work version so I will be interested to see how the Trumpeter kit stacks up against it. Once it comes in I think it will bump its way to near the top of the TO-DO List.
I hope that having two of them will create a strong demand for figures and stuff to fill it.

You for all the trending towards 1/16. Not one WW1 or 2 truck has been produced.
I'd like a AEC 644 Marshall .....even just in 1/35 would be nice.

Give it time Digger, give it time. Kitform Services do 1/24 Cold War - and there is a Pinkie due the end of this year!! The 1/16 are sure to follow.... I hope.
