There is more news about the Tamiya Marder III M at: http://www.tamiya.com/japan/products/35255marder3m/index.htm

Good stuff, my friend! Too many kits, too little time!!!

Dave,

You are absolutely right! Like I said before, I have stacks of kits are waiting on the racks.

Looks good to me except where those tracks pull in at the front. A good set of after market tracks on heck of a kit.

So many models, so little time...

Lots of room for after-market stuff there... shells, tracks, etc... hehehe

Hey, did you notice that Tamiya is actually supplying a photoetch part with this model? It's just one piece (for the muffler) but it's a start. Hopefully a sign of things to come......

Folgore,

Just read Tamiya English page and found that it really have PE parts included in the kit: http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/35255marder3m/index.htm

Yep, here's a picture:



Not much, but it's similar to what DML does, which is a big plus if you're building out of the box. You don't have to order the thing separately.

Folgore,

Thanks for the attached photo. I think Tamiya is making a big leap for including the PE parts with the kit. Maybe , they wanna step in the market of making PE parts for their products in the future.

The only PE sets I have bought so far have been belts and buckles etc. for scratching bedrolls etc, so it will be interesting to try this kit and see if the PE will be a challenge or change my mind and convert me! Looking forward to the release of this kit.
