razzie43 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Let me introduce the Marder III Ausf M(M stands for middelmotor)Engine in the middle! Marder III Ausf M was almost the same type as the Marder III Ausf H The Marder III was produced in two variants – Ausf H and Ausf M. They were based on the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t). Compare it.... Specifications Model: Ausf H Ausf M Weight: 10800kg 10500kg Crew: 4 men 4 men Engine: Praga EPA/2 / 6-cylinder / 140hp Praga AC / 6-cylinder / 140hp Speed: Road: 35km/h Road: 42km/h Range: Road: 240km Road: 185km Fuel Capacity: 218 litres 218 litres Lenght: 5.77m 4.95m Width: 2.16m 2.15m Height: 2.51m 2.48m Armament: 75mm Pak 40/3 L/46 75mm Pak 40/3 L/46 1 x 7.92mm MG37(t) 1 x 7.92mm MG34 The Ausf H carried 38 rounds of ammunition, while Ausf M had only 27 rounds From April 1943 to May 1944, BMM produced 975 Ausf M models. The Ausf H (Heckmotor-rear engine) had the fighting compartment in a central forward location, while the fighting compartment of the Ausf M (Mitte-mid engine) was at the rear. And now the kit : Dragon nr 6464,has 937 parts (562 in grey styrene, 240 “Magic Track” links, 118 etched brass, 16 clear styrene, 1 length twisted steel wire) I read the review and like always the photo etch numbers have a few errors/mistakes. Also they are very small to see the nr. with a normal eyeview. The instructions are sometimes confused if you don't have the time to build. That's why always look at the end of the manual plan. O yeah the kit came with a full interior ,and a radio! And the P.E. is so big and full..try to read those nr if you can?!! The Engine was a "Praga AC / 6-cylinder / 140hp",hardly to find some details on that b/w photo's The photo below : I mix the colour of 71.009 80% + 8% of the rest of it..... If you can see the engine was not completed with his build.. The Inside colour was tamiya white + Deck tan tamiya to give it a little grey white look. The floor is ofcource a mix of Vallejo red colours. This was before i put my arm into the wet oil layer wheels. Then after 2 days i build my radio with wires (first attempt) and weathering the right flank of the tank. And it went wrong on those PE...but lucky the super glue was not very hard to remove the bar below! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Mike,when u almost finish the dishes,you steel the sponge and cut some little pieces of it to dry brush it on ur model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Looks real good so far, like the interior, must be lonely to be the driver. Are all of those tubes for ammo storage? Also like the radio setup and the chipping is amazing. Good tip about the sponge, I'll have to steal that one, the sponge I mean. Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
