Hamden Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 A project gifted to me 1/35 Italeri Marder III Ausf H, it had been started a couple of parts are missing. To date I have done a little adding the suspension including scratching a replacement axle arm and put the glacis and engine cover decks in place.

Hamden Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 Todays update I discovered that two of the track return rollers are missing so will have to make replacements for those also the main gun support/mounting is also missing so that too will need to be scratched. I have now added the front deck handles and towing horns as well as the exhaust system, towing horns and crew platform on the engine decks.

FrancisGL Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 If I'm not mistaken, this kit is an oldie ?, I have parts in the spare box that I did not know they were, and they match the back grilles of your model, and they have not got the time ...

Hamden Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Just a short update on the Marder I have put together most of the main armament module and started to scratch the missing mounting crucifix frame for the main armament. Here are the pictures:- Thanks for looking more when I get the chance! Roger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Time for an update the mini lathe recommended by @The Baron turned up during the week so I was able to turn up two replacement top return rollers, the originals were missing from the kit. I also scratched a replace gun mounting crucifix this was also missing from the kit. Pictures show the hull with replacement top rollers with lathe in the back ground, the gun mounting fitted to the hull and with the gun placed in position. Thanks for looking more soon Roger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamden Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 A bit more done, gun barrel travel lock clamp part of which was missing has been scratched and the main 75mm gun fitted together with the side armour. Both track guards and the tracks are also now in place. Waiting for the weather to improve so the painting can start! Thanks as always for taking the time to look Roger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sairou Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I like these older builds, something quite interesting about them. Recently I've been on a stint of upgrading old tamiya/italeri kits with PE parts, and it really makes you realise how spoiled we are with some modern kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Started the painting stage at long last most likely going to end up as a Russia 1942 vehicle so will be in the plain sand yellow scheme but I could still change my mind and do a France 1944 three colour vehicle. <ahref='https://postimg.cc/image/64lufpin9/'target='_blank'><img src='https://s26.postimg.cc/64lufpin9/IMG_0009.jpg' border='0' alt='IMG_0009'/></a> As always thanks for taking the time to look Roger Edited April 1, 2018 by Hamden picture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 I'm calling this one done although I might make a small base for it later. This was an interesting project that had a few parts missing when it came into my hands and I don't think it turned out to bad! Thanks for looking and for the comments Roger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sairou Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Looks suitably grimy, although why are the images so small? Either way, good job on an old kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
