Sorry Jeff... I didn't meant to get your Marder's hunger stronger.
I have the Tristar H version, if you want to see some sprue shots before deciding..

Oh, don't go out of your way for me John, but thanks.
It'll either be the Italeri Marder III Ausf.H or this Tamiya Marder II I have sitting here for god knows how long.
I've given up the ALL PE Marder build. I just have too much on my plate right now.

Jeff I got a complaint from the elf's union rep, they spent these last 2 days cleaning wheels & track links, non-stop, no feeding just a can of beer every 4 hrs...
Gary, yes Afrika Corps, but the base paint will be grey since the dark yellow was applied in Africa .
If I don't change my mind .. If it looks too good in Grey...ahhh I'll cross that bridge when I get there

My buddy has a crazy technique for the rubber band tracks. I wanted him to do a tutorial on this site cause I have not seen many guys use it. He cuts the tracks up at every link. He has not let me in on how he remakes the tracks but it looks a whole lot better than it did originally ...not as good as aftermarket or metal but it is a cool idea for someone without the cash for tracks and shipping.
