So please tell more? What is the scale?

How did you do it? Tracks, gun, armor? Power source?

Really interested in the whole story!

Cheers,

Sirhr

P.S. It's ready for paint but I have built a 1:1 scale 1915 Ford Model T Polish Pattern Armored car. So... 1:1 models are no strangers to me. But tracks! Wow, that's some serious work right there!

Hello Robert,

The Marder is 1:1 scale and original German, also the tracks are original.
The gun can not fire anymore, you have to weld a plug in to the chamber.
The engine is not the original one, i forgot what kind of engine he put in ( Maybach to expensive ) if you can find one.
It was restored by a English man Jon Philips he also restored the stug3 auf D but this one he sold.
He also have a kubel wagon.

best regards Yves
