Hello,

Still building on some projects. This time it will be a Marder III M. This will be a project with a lot of solder, patience, and time.

What I will use:

Dragon 6464 Marder III M
RBmodel barrel
Friul tracks
Friul drive sprockets
Griffon Model Marder III M PE set
Griffon Model Praga Wilson gearbox PE set

Also, there is lack of detail on the interior, so I will scratch them. But I think the Praga Wilson gearbox set from Griffon model will also add a lot of detail on the interior.

All criticism is needed!









And of course some plastics.

Looks great. Your brass is really adding some details to the model. It will really be noticeable - especially for an open combat compartment like this.

Looking forward to see more.

Great photo etch work! Like the others have said it will really make a difference. Please post more in progress shots as you go.

It's some time ago while I'm still building on this kit. I'm still busy on the interior. It is a puzzle to get al the details on the right place. I do have some nice photographs about this. I have to scratchbuild some parts on the side walls and have to do the wiring also. The pictures are with or without flash because my camera hadn't enough battery power anymore to use the flash.

Have fun!

Already a nice start Hilbert. Good job on soldering the front shield. I have this kit and the Tristar H version, so will be following this thread. Good luck.

Just came across this build. Very impressed with the brass work, particularly the curved armor shield and the way you have matched it with the other parts.

any progress or is this a dead project?

Hey vonMarshall,

Definitely no dead subject. But I will build some models between this subject because it would be a shame if I would loose interest in it!

Thanks for the reply.
