I am returning to armour modelling after a 35 yera 'lay off'!

This is my first 'posting' to ask if anyone knows of crew members/gunners for Marder vehicles.

I know Verlinden hast wo sets but cannot find any others having checked out 10 sites!

Thanks for any help

Royal model does a nice set for the Marder:

Their service and quality are excellent.

Trumpeter and Dragon make several WWII spg crew sets. I don't believe that any of them are specific to the marder. You may also be able to get away with an artillery crew.

The best set in Plastic is the Tristar German SPG Crew Set #2
Not sure if they are still available though. Masterbox and Miniart both do good crew sets also.

Hello Dennis

First thing first, of course I have to say welcome back! I build my second Marder to be joined with the first one onto a diorama and uses crew figures from MasterBox, but like Matt says, IMO such figures were not specific to represent a type of tank/self propelled AT gun crew. The presentation is as follows:

Just go to the first picture on my latest post in the topic linked above. I assembly & paint several of them just out of the box.

Cheers,


Garry

I second the Tristar set. They are generic for just about any Marder or Panzerjager and are excellently sculpted and well animated. Tristar seems to vary a bit, but this set is really top notch.
