I recently saw a kit by CMK of a 'Panzerjager Pz35t/R-Z TACAM in unknown (to me) markings - possibly Czech. This vehicle is very similar in layout to the German Panzerjager Marder lll (t-38), but mounting the Soviet 76.2 gun and using the t-35 chassis. Was this a German development, a Soviet copy of the Marder lll (t-38), or a post-war Czech solution for redundant t-35 chassis?

I dont know, but my guess would be a captured Soviet Model. I would think that the Germans would have long since taken all the obsolete 35 and 38 t models and used em up and most likely re-tooled the factories to make more modern tanks, so I dont think it was some Czech made thing. I really dont know though, so your guess is as good as mine.
