Airmodel is the only one I know of.

But the Airmodel kit is also carried by CMK.

So you could look for either.

If you're up for it, it's a pretty easy scratchbuild on a PzKpfw IV, Ausf D superstructure. There were some minor modifications to the hull, then add the cargo area and crane. I have some detailed pics and a scale drawing of one side if you're interested. I'm also trying to work up my own scale drawings of all views, with the crane extended. The only area my sources don't cover is a top view and the interior of the cargo area, although it was just storage racks for two 40cm shells (you can use the one from the DML kit as a guide). I'll be building mine after I finish my current projects.

I've heard rumors that one is coming, but that is just a rumor at this time. I have no facts.

The ammo carriers were also based on the E and F chassis as well as the D. Which is good, because that gives you more options for conversion than the old Tamiya D.

Italeri and DML both made "F" series Panzer IV's. That would be my suggestion of a starting point for a conversion.

Just my 2 cents.
