German Tank Destroyer Marder I

This German tank destroyer was based on the French Lorraine tank supply tractor. The Germans captured around 300 of them. I was surprised how small it was when I opened the box, but it turned out to be a fun build. Pro's For a small kit it comes with a lot of parts. It comes with an 8 page background information book. Inside you find information about the destroyer with 3 color drawings with camouflage patterns, decal placement and Tamiya paint color matching codes. Also color pictures of a real destroyer in a museum. I choose the dark yellow. You can go German grey or German grey with winter white patterns. I like the dark yellow so I can use my black wash to highlight all the details of my build. Then you have the 16 page instructions and decals. No problems with parts fitting, no clean up or putty. You have individual track links. I had no problems with them. Just follow the order in which to put them together. Good detail on the inside of the fighting compartment, along with a radio and shells. Two figures are included with great detail. One radio headset. I added very fine wire to the headset and attached it to the radio and put the headset around the neck of one of the figures. Con's None. Would not recommend for a beginner, but if you have some builds under your belt and want to try individual track links this is the kit. I use Tamiya extra thin cement on them which I get from Hobbylinc. Have Fun.
