Thank You Sir
I've been impressed with the build so far but never expected the flag decal to be wrong but i'll recover.

Tony, it surely is a pain to find out something is wrong after all seems to be settled.

Agree it's recoverable -- as per photo, it's been roughly painted on so nothing to worry on making it straight and even like the decal. Curious though -- is it just the lighting that made the black band seem lighter in the photo?

Cheers,

Tat

Tony,

Wonderful thread. You have convinced me to go Panda instead of RPM.

Great model and great work! I'm a huge fan of all the Marders, still have a Marder III in stash.

Tat I didn't paint over the black bar so it might be the shine of the decal.

Oh yeah the Panda wins hands down over the RPM Frederick.

KC you know SPGs are Forever

Thanks Guys

Final Update #15















Excellent kit by Panda Model Co. and in my opinion can be built by most if not all modelers.
As mentioned earlier in the build I added the tow cable,jack,extra ammo and head light. The supplied track links were replaced with AM tracks because I ran short of three or four links not because I lost them but may have just assembled them to tight.

My Thanks go out to Panda and the Armorama crew for allowing me the chance to build the Marder I for the site.

Thanks to all you folks that followed along too.
