IIRC he is the guy who made the CAD for the Takom Luchs. So I would bet my money on Takom.

It looks a lot more like a Meng CAD to me, being in their usual Green/Sand whilst Takom did all the CAD shots I remember seeing in grey.

No matter if it`s Takom or Meng as long we can send the crappy RoG kit into retirement.

A decent kit of the Marder would be very welcome

I reckon they could string it out to a couple of multi option kits for the early and late versions - A0 to A2 in one kit and A3/A5 (including Afghan mods) in another

Just out of interest, with the current focus on Bundeswehr kit, I wonder how far we are from some decent plastic kits of those wonderful earlier vehicles like the Spz Kurtz, HS30 and KaJaPa?

Hmmm... I don`t think that many manufacturers know of their existence. As long as they could make some Wehrmacht and Soviet paperpanzers with little efforts, we won´t probably see s Schützenpanzer kurz in plastic. Remember how long it took to get one of the most numerous modern tracks -the M113- as a new tool kit.

Got my fingers crossed for this one ! Now if we could get some decent BW figures, both old & new, for all of these kits...

Agreed but I live in hope

We have a new tool Chieftain, fairly nice early Leopard 1, lots of less well known modern BW kit such as Dingo and Fennek. You never know...

In the meantime, PSM and Elite will have my worthless £££

Good! There's hope we can get Chilean decals too.

Cheers,

More news on Marder 1A3

http://modellboard.net/index.php?topic=56934.15

From the text, they speculate that Meng is the company. Not only a Marder 1A3 is expected, but also the Marder 1A3 Beobachter Artillerie.
