My latest model is a what if for a group build on another site. It the Revel Marder 1A3 modified to meet the demands of the CF. Canadian National Defence is in the process of maybe purchasing equipment like the Marder so maybe it will be a reality soon.

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.
