      Sd.Kfz.139 Marder III "Centurion3RTR"

      Hi all, what we have here is the Italeri's 1/35 Sd.Kfz.139 Marder III, not to much in the box but should look ok when it's finished. I know i build in 1:48 scale but a lot of you who normally make 1:35 have come to my scale so i've gone to your's and building something a wee bit bigger. Got some nice figures too, Dragon's Self-Propelled Gun Crew. This is going to be a nice simple build up with no added extras (honest) as i'm putting it on a small picture frame dio.

      Have fun, John

      That's going to look good when done!!! even if there isn't too much to the kit, the Dragon figures will liven it up!!! Their molds are some of the most
      detailed I've ever seen. actually, for the value, Italeri is a nice model. I'll be getting my Shnellboot in the mail soon. I hope it's as detailed as everyone says it is. Happy building!!

      To tell you the truth fellas, i got five models for the GB but i can only do this one. Airfix IL-2 Sturmovik i'm disappointed in, Sd.kfz 179 Bergpanther that i'm saving for something special, two Tiger's that i'm waiting for new tracks and goodie bits and this one. Been doing some work on the Marder today, it needs some cleaning up but to be fair it's not a bad little kit. The figures that came with the Marder are funny, they look like zombies but the Dragon one's even come with PE parts

      Have fun, John

      Hi John
      Great to have you in the GB. The Italeri Marder looks a good kit. Did you chose it deliberately over the Tamiya version? I've never built either so this will be an interesting for me. The dragon figures are a good choice too.look forward to this SP.
      Cheers

      Paul

      When i brought the Bergpanther and the two Tiger's the fella threw the Marder in for free. So it was like a cat, it chose me lol.

I know what you mean about the dragon figures being excellent, i picked up a box of four viet cong figures of theirs today at the car boot for 50p! the detail is very impressive ,theres even a bicycle in there too, only thing is i havent got a clue what im going to do with them!!! You cant pass up a bargain though eh!!? cheers tony

      Cheers Tony, i know you'll find something for the viet cong figures mate. Downed Huey in the jungle would be nice, and big (but don't tell ya missis you got the idea from me though lol).

      Got the business end done today, the 7.5 cm Pak 40 from what i've seen there's not much detail on the real gun anyway so i'm happy. Next job the hull.

      I know what you mean Graham, i was trying to find out but lost count lol. There's the different Mk's, then the variations in that Mk then, there's the field modification ohhhhhh here comes the headache.

      Have fun, John
