That version of Marder will certainly lend itself to building a Flakpanzer 38(t). Maybe Tamiya will release one of them, too, or at least someone will make a conversion kit.........

I found that I can get the latest Tamiya kits cheaper and faster by going through Hobby Link Japan. Great people to deal with, I highly recommend them to you.

Thanks for the heads up DJ...I have them(Hobby Link Japan)in my "favorites" now.! I'm with you Folgore...I hope they do the38(t), Flakpanzer, Grille, and Hetzer on the 38(t) chassis. They need to get thier money's worth out of those molds!
Here's to Tamiya.....What would we do without them! Jeff

I agree with DJ about HobbyLink Japan. They are great. If anyone is ever interested in getting any of the great Fine Molds WWII Japanese tanks HLJ is the way to go. I just got the Type 1 and Type 3 both of which were bundled with the Modelkasten tracks for a total of 7200 yen (about $60 USD) each. I looked at what these same items would have cost at my local hobby shop (Granddad's) and I would have paid $55 USD per kit and $40 per MK track set.
