Stephen Gravina (Edlud) presents his build conversion of the 1/35 Bronco H39 kit into a Marder I H39 by adding an Aber barrel, tow cables by Eureka, Adlers Nest antenna, Friulmodel tracks, and spare periscopes and MG34 from DML. Stephen also scratch built many parts including the chain link fencing on the hull front and the bogie springs.



Marder I H39

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

Very nice work Stephen, the chain-link fencing is excellent.

Good job on that one, Stephen.

Thanks for sharing

Stephen, very well done.

Thanks for the kind words. It's my first submission and I wanted some feed back.

The ranning part of the machine is made simply exellently...And in general the machine looks very vell!Good luck!

I especially like the surface color of the road wheels with the 'real steel' look!

I did notice the tracks are going in opposite directions. Was this intentional?

I agree the addition of the screen is the best touch for this vehicle.

AHH, The track IS on the wrong way! Thanks, nice catch. I really would like to improve and appreciate critiques.

The chain linked fence was a bit of window screen from a hardware store. I got the idea on the forums here.

I placed the screen on masking tape and used super thin CA then removed, pat dry and cut to size. I tried many different solutions and this worked well.

I also think the tubes in the front side were for a pole, fence and some camouflage. Can anyone confirm this?

Nicely done Bill. Excellent job on the weathering. I do notice that the weld(s) look a little thick. Is this correct for this scale?? Again, nice job...
