Marder III Ausf.M

[Chris S]

Hi folks ,

I fancied doing a bit of armor for my next build ,and this one sorta jumped out at me ;D



Got a little start made . I've built most of the interior parts ..engine, Tranny & radiator .



Which I then test fitted along with the bulkheads .....





Next up I'll tackle the running gear .

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

Oh, this Kit have an interior I had to made it for myself for the old Italeri-Kit. Nice work so far. Did it get a Waffen-SS camo? Maybe for a Charkov-dio?

 

[Chris S]

Hi Chief , there's seven camo options ...I think ,i'll check for you and let you know

Chris.

 

[scratchmod]

Well looky here, Chris is doing something with a big gun and armor.....very cool Chris. Nice start on the Marder so far. Don't worry too much about the 1001 parts in the box....most go in the spares box ;D

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out bud.

Erik,hi ya fella , yeah I actually have that link ,but thanks for posting it . It was after reading that I decided on my final colours ,reckon I couldnt be too far out :...maybe ?

Chris.

 

[Chris S]

Hi all ,

I got a bit more done on this one ,not too much as Im not getting a lot of bench time this week

I got the suspension ,wheels ,sprockets and idlers all done ,not much work here and goes together real nice , The wheels and sprockets are only set in place for now so I can get the track runs made up .







I'll get some better pics later ,the light is kinda bad here today !

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

 

[Eastrock]

Its looks nice and sharp, Chris!!

 

[Chris S]

Thanks buddy , Yeah it is nicely molded ,up to Dragons usually nice quality ....pitty their instructions are'nt as good :

Chris.

 

[Eastrock]

I agree with you, the instructions are not good, that's what I've encountered with The MI Abrams. some parts should be glued on the opposite side. :-X
