Howdy,

I'm looking for engine and compartment pics, I found a few at Panzer-modell.de but could use some more. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Maybe these could be of some use to you:

These are pictures I took in Munster Panzermuseum. This is not A2, and I believe this vehicle was a training aid (partially disassembled and with many holes cut to show internal components), so colors may not be original and some parts may be missing.

Hi Kimmo,
Maybe this book will help with your Marder project.

Alternativly, you can come to Germany in September and take pics an measurements by yourself.

Hans-Hermann I would love nothing more than to visit Germany again. Sadly, that won't happen until the finances improve. Same thing goes for the book. Trying to keep myself busy and go through the stash on the cheap and not pick up any more reference books or detail sets. This project will mainly be a painting and weathering exercise but I want to do a little detailing on the engine. Look for a blog very soon.

Hi Kimmo,
you can find some interior pics of a Marder 1A3 here:

Hope it`s not too terrifying.

I think I'll leave that for another time. I still have the Revell in the stash. Thanks again.
