anybody ever build that kit?? I've started mine today and it seem that the fit is not very good.
it's the first kit i build from this brand ,i hope their not all like that.

Well I am working on an ex alan kit The SU-76 for 4 months now is that any help. They suck in terms of OOB but a pretty decent kit can be built with work. but don't expect a fast KIT from this company.
Boy lucky I checked the spelling corrected just about every word

But I did hear that their Lynx was pretty good

Let me be more upfront the SU-76 was theirs first then Dragon got it and dropped it then Marquette got it so Who knows

sarge if you talking about my way of writing ,well i'm sorry if it's not right but i'm french and i'm not very good in english......

He was talking about his own spelling, I believe.

I have the Alan kit. as well as a couple of other Alan kits. I don't know very much about German armored SPGs. I just traded some aircraft away and got them in return so I don't know the accuracy and after reading your comments, I may have to get rid of them and stick to Shermans and modern US armor.

Heheh, I believe he meant the spelling in the Alan instruction sheet.

See we can all be confused by what someone types. No wonder "flame wars" happen so frequently.

I built Alan's PzII-C (in Dragon packaging). The fit, as I recall, was quite good. I just thought I'd mention this because maybe they both use the same suspension parts.

He's right I don't correct other peoples stuff. Boy sure ready to start something wasn't he

God still correcting errors up in their

I think I also heard that their panzer II was pretty good but again I would think some time is required to get it this way

Should read: God, still correcting errors up in there.


I have the Lynx (Luchs) and in the box it looks rather nice.

oh ok about the spelling but it maybe possible that i make mistake!!!!lol I just hope everybody can understand what i write! As for the allan kit maybe i fell on a bad one.....that will be to bad cause they make some nice subject for modelers

Come to think of it, I may have a build up review of the kit in an old issue of Military Model Preview. I *think* that they may have done a side-by-side comparision of the kit along with the Tamiya Marder, but I am not sure. I will check tonight and if you wish, can send you a copy.

did tamiya made a marder II d????

Sorry, it's a side-by-side of the Alan and Tamiya Wespe. All those German SPs look the same to me

I thought Tamiya did make a Marder II. Not sure if its an Ausf D, though.

yes they did produce a marder II a couple of time ago(mine is still on the shelf)but i dont know if it still in their catalog.The marder II d has different wheels and the armement is a captured soviet 76.2mm anti-tank gun.Finally a good looking model!!!

I hadn't realized that this version of the Marder II was built on the Panzer II-D chassis (though by the name it is sort of obvious), with only four wheels instead of the five of the Panzer II-C.
