Looking for Marder IIIm tracks that arent the rubberband kind. Any manufacturers or someone who have them will be a great help.

Since the Marder III M uses the Pz 38t/Hetzer chassis, you may have some luck if you look for tracks for those kits as well.

I was just wondering the same thing. I have the tamiya kit, and I can't stand rubberband tracks. I want to buy a set of fruil tracks, but am not sure which ones to get. I think the set for the pz 38t will work (ALT-13). I don't think the tracks for the hetzer would fit because the chasis may have been a little bigger. But don't take my word for it, as I am no expert on the matter. Hopefully someone in the know will be able to help, as I would like to know myself.

I have been recently building the Italeri Marder III kit and have had no luck finding any but I hope someone will be able to come up with something.

Maquette make a set of marder indy tracks in plastic, and should be quite cheap. Dont know anything about their quality or accuracy though.

According to one site I found it seems the Friumodel PzKpfw 38(t) individual white metal track links will work but I do not know for sure.

Hello,

i'm building the Marder 3 M at the moment, too. I choose Friul ATL-13. That set comes with 210 tracks links and 2 sprocket wheels.
There is on problem with the tracks. They won't fit Tamiyas Sprocket and Idler wheels. They are too narrow. So you have to rework them, with a little bit plastic sheet or do as i did: Order Friul's Wheel set for the Pz388t) too.

Hello you were looking for some replacement tracks for the marder 3m, modelkasten has a set for it:SK-30. And they have also replacement sprocket and diff.gear housing set: A-6.

Sorry i made a mistake were i wrote A-6, it should be A-9, the sprocket and idler set from MK. So it must be Modelkasten:SK-30 for the tracks and A-9 for the sprocket and idler set.

WWII Productions from Australia makes a set of click together resin links, cheaper than Fruils, without the annoying pin assembly method, AND they are 'handed' in that both sides pin ends are sealed and require no extra work.
