This is my next project:


I was wondering if anyones got further info about this. Camo and engine details would be good.

Hi Mondo

is that the Tamiya's kit?

i saw it on a LHS and it is going for less than 25 dollars..

is it a good build?

Yes. It's Tamiya.

$25US or S$. Here is costs me US$14.


It has an engine with some details. I don't know how accurate it is until I get a picture for the actual. The engine compartment is to the right of the drivers hatch. Pretty big.

Unfortunately it doesn't have interior details although the rear doors can be opened.

I like it because it's kind of large for an APC and the it's not that common anyway.

The old Concord (horizontal series) book on modern Panzergrenadiers had the most/best pics I'd found when I was building mine.
Unfortunately, I've since sold it.

try ebay I guess.

It was a nice kit to build. Didn't use any PE. Just some styrene for the Milan platform support and mesh for the coax guard.



A few shots of the real thing:

Tamiya models are Marder 1 (A0) and Marder 1A2 w/Milan - I'm not sure which is the one Mondo has. The vehicle on photos on the website linked above is Marder 1A3 - this variant has quite a lot of modifications from earlier versions.
