Which company makes this?
Well, you have to print them yourself (or find somebody to do it for you if you havent a printer yourself)

Yes, 4 of a mainstream company, sub-$500 Matilda II. One to be painted in the Caunter scheme, one in the Malta scheme, one converted to the 3" howitzer Aussie scheme with the awesome rearend exterior telephone, and one in the scheme used in Arras. Maybe 5, with one for basic desert tan...
And a PZ 38(t) same parameters...
Oooooh, and an accurate M3 Grant same parameters...

I wasn't considering "printable" stuff. I was thinking kits like Tamiya or RTR stuff.

I don't have the ability to print so that''s out and doesn't count in my book.

Yeah. I was reckoning kits, or pre-printed kits. Accessible kits. I mean, theoretically, you can do anything with a 3D printer, but as we have learned in the realms of prop building and miniatures gaming, "That doesn't mean you should do it." ;)

As for myself? Something Allied: an accessible Cromwell or M3; something French. Gods help us something terribly uncommon like a *gasp* T-34/76. Axis: Something that isn't German. Something Hungarian, Italian, Japanese would be nice. Modern? T-55 seems like an obvious and very odd thing to have excluded, given it's the most world's most produced tank. Beyond that? Armored cars and halftracks actually configured for combat use. WW1 stuff in general.

As to what is currently available, I'm honestly still disappointed that the Sheridan was abandoned by Tamiya. Would be a hell of a lot of fun to have one of those and not have to worry so much about replacing split tracks.

too bad, it is really rewarding to print it yourself, although you have to put in some effort to learn it of course. Also changing and designing stuff yourself is very nice to do. Some of the designers like warprints also sell kits of their designs.

Why didn’t I think of this?

The Tsar tank, of course, combat ready. Giant tricycle with guns
