Thats some nice detail you are adding. The PE and Resin certainly take this to the next level.

Yep, all the extras make a huge difference to the rather simple kit :D

Hi all
the PE parts are quite challenging but I won't give up :lol:

PSM instructions being rather useless, I use a set of pictures of an actual Marder to find where to glue the parts and how to bend them.
The rear plate is complete except for the lights which are clear plastic so I will glue them at the end.

Just before the drowning of the French rugby team, I managed to assemble the turret. Not an easy task because of the instructions but all in all, it was a quick job. The cannon and the coax MG are not glued yet.

That’s a heck of a lot of work you’ve done there but it is a definite improvement on the base kit.

Thank you guys. Unfortunately I didn't pay enough attention to my reference pictures and made some mistakes I can't no longer fix.
Fortunately I'll be the only one to know where :lol:

Base paint applied. I used Vallejo RAL 1039 Sandbeige. The green patches will be done with Vallejo RAL 6040 Helloliv.
Now I need to weather a bit the running gear before gluing the side skirts.

It's always very satisfying to see the primer coat go on. Nice job Olivier. :)
