Here are a few pictures of a Unimodel Marder III that I've been working on for the last couple of weeks
Nicely engineered parts with a couple of brass bits to go with it

Whoever the marketing genius was that came up with the multi-link track idea should be shafted! I've never had a successful experience with these yet
About 3/4 finished. Well over a hundred parts on this kit so I'm bound to have a few spare bits and pieces left over but we'll see:)
Nicely done. Agreed on the multi link tracks for 1/72 scale kits.
ReplyDeletePut some rubber rims on those road wheels bootneck.
That looks rather more involved than the old Esci Marder kit! Rather you then me.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Al!
ReplyDeleteDon't glue them together that way...glue them together while putting them on/around the wheels. Also, you can't do the whole lot in one sessions - I do them in mutliple sessions with a 3-hour gap in between to ensure the glue has cured.
ReplyDeletePatience and you'll get there Al!
ReplyDeleteGood job so far!

Shaping up nicely. I've never personally tried a model with the multi-link track, but it's always just looked like an awkward thing to have to fiddle with. But it looks like you managed very well with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you boys. On dial-up at present so shan't be updating for a few days :(
ReplyDeleteThose multi link tracks are a pain. Love the comments you made about having a few parts left over. It's looking good.
ReplyDeleteBrass bits area a sign of a quality kit Al, but I agree multi-part track links are fine for 1:35 scale but in 1/72 way too fiddly for this old wargamer :(
ReplyDeleteI am putting together a resin WWII (Pz IIIE) just now and it comes with a mighty "four" parts in total that still is the equal of many a plastic kit. This and HaT Armourfast is the way forward for me methinks.
Marder III's are nice to get on table, a bit of morale support for the Landsers
