Hi all,
here is an old build I found back during my holidays (along with the BRDM and the T-80)
The kit is quite good and an easy build. The bad point is the vinyl tracks but someone could point to replacement parts. I think there are some but can't remember the brand.
Here are the pics

Not quite the same - Tamiya only made versions 1 and 1A2. Revell kit is 1A3.
Resin aftermarket tracks are made by LionMarc. Pricy and very tedious to assemble, but look much better than Tamiya and especially ugly Revell tracks.

Hi Pawel,
LionMarc tracks look fine, I checked out on their site. I think their build will be tricky with two axis per connector ! I built their BMD tracks already and I know how they come.
Maybe I'll give them a try when I have
1. time enough
2. flatened my stash
3. thickened my wallet
Seb : having built Tamiya's Marder too, I consider Revell kit as equal to it. Both are worth being built. It will just depend on which version (or time frame) you intend to represent.
