Hi chris, the marder looks really futuristic with its sloped sides and angular armor, maybe this will really be reality

. i particularly like the chipping and the camo with the white stripes running through

Thanks Christopher. There are some mock up pics on a site not related to CND. I used the CV-90 for Ideas. Yeah the Puma is mean looking.

Looks like the Child of a Marder1A3 and a Warrior. Nice combination. What parts did you use? Hull is the Revell kit with minor changes but where did you get
+ Turret
+ Armor slats/side add-ons
As for another upgrade of Marder: The Army still has some stuff on the wish-list (830HP engine, bigger canon, better airconditioner). But even IF that happens it will likely be another dribble of 70-80 upgrades like the A5 upgrade. To bad since the Marders do work quite well when deployed since they can keep on fighting where a Duro only protects the crew.

Your right the side armor is from the warrior I switched sides and inverted them. Then I covered them is screen. The turret is a Bradley from Tamiya I stripped it down and then added updated parts from spare parts and scratch.
