Since 1950s and early 1960s era vehicles are being prototyped, and produced, I just wanted to make sure this little family of West German vehicles doesn't get overlooked, for the Bundeswehr recon units, e.g.:

Spz 11-2 AKA Spz Kurz with 20mm cannon
Spz Kurz 81mm mortar carrier
Spz Kurz Troop carrier
Spz Kurz Beob observation vehicle
Spz Kurz ammo carrier

I think there are even a few more variants, but those will probably do, for most of them.  They served in the BW from the late 1950s to the early 1980s in some units, if the accounts I've read are correct.

I'm especially in need of the first two, right off the bat. 

There may be some other variants too, which I haven't listed.  Can't ever recall all the various numerical designations of the different models.

Who wouldn't want a platoon, or company of these?

Similar but not as pretty as a Vickers Mk VI light tank  ;)

Is this the one the Belgians used in the 50's and 60's (?) Sunray?
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Sorry mate, missed your post !  Yes that's the late issue Belgian carrier they stuck a 90mm on.  Soldiered with the Belgians for a long time.
Of questionable tactical use with no overhead armour, but a cute wee vehicle non the less.

Amazing the kit that has the X factor where wargamers are concerned.  :o :o :o

I have no problems do they have a Lloyd carrier
