A very quick search gave me the Khurasan 6mm red resplublik red lightening tank.
Which I figure you could modify by cutting off the tracks and filling any holes. I didn't look over every 6mm sci fi link I have but here are a few other mfgs you could try. Ground Zero Games Dark Star Scotia Grendel 15mm.co.uk And many more. You could try CinC but as I recall they had nothing similar. Of course if you were doing 15mm Khurasan kits it out of the park with;

Long ago I used to play that game and a friend of mine had some minis from a place called "Dark Star", I think. He bought them in the U.S. They looked very much like Traveler vehicles in the book art. |

Yea, Darkest Star games old Dark Star range of minis are about the best you'll be able to do, in 6mm scale, unless someone's copied and is selling them on Shapeways. The old Dark Star range are even more streamlined than the Traveller designs, and look very nice. |

Thresher I have looked at Darkest Star's current selection. If you mean older minis they no longer sell do you have any pictures or links? Always curious for ideas. Thank you. |

Thanks for the ID Oberlindes Sol LIC ! Darkest Star does make some very nice stuff. link I have painted up some their Khiff in PA. And some other faction GRAV AFVs awaiting paint.
I do like Khurasan, GZG, Microworld and CinC too, as all I do is 6mm Sci-fi. Also check out PlasmaBlast plasmablastgames.com |

Scotia Grendel have some variants for the apc….. link Annoyingly few photos!! |

Darkest Star carries ALL the 6mm minis produced by Dark Star, even the ones only previously available from the UK. Looks like they are still for sale: link I hope that helps. Note, the PlasmaBlast minis do look nice, but they are apparently smaller than many vehicles from other manufacturers. |
