My take on a Marder II in Afrika Korps service. Built OOB, with only additional figures. The usual Tamiya quality and build (apart from locating the gun - for some reason it just wouldn't site correctly with hole/poly cap, despite my cursing and desperate filing). This is my first effort using pigments and fixer to finish off weathering - it's not perfect I know (the wheels especially).....and I know about the join lines on the figures too.....

Dear fellow Britmodellers, my first completed AFV in 2021 is the 1/72 Special Hobby Marder II. This kit was originally released under the 'MK72' label in 2011. It's a highly detailled quality tooling, on par with the latest Revell releases. Coincidentially, other versions based on this chassis (StuH Grille & Marder III) will be released by Revell Germany, according to their news announcement. I especially liked the one-piece tracks that simply wrap around the drive sprocket, as link'n'length tracks in 72 scale frequently cause me problems. I painted with Gunze/Mr.Hobby acrylics, washed with artist oils and dusted the model with Tamiya pigments. The model represents a vehicle operating in the Lake Balaton area, Hungary, March 1945. All photographs by Wolfgang Rabel. Thank you for your interest, best greetings from Vienna! Roman

Hello! My first armor build ... taking plenty of photos along the way. I'm trying to sort out the "order of operations" (e.g. assembly and painting), since I have build aircraft for the the last 20 years. I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying the process and the build - I love scale model aircraft, but this is a breath of fresh air! I have started with the chassis and have all of the road wheel axles attached. I plan to assemble, prime and paint as much as I can with sub-assemblies. Since I have none of the colors for armor, I've done some research and have my Tamiya and Humbrol colors list more or less ironed out ... it's quite a bit of paint that I will need to get :-). Much of the model had injector molding sink marks and seams that needed to be filled in. I use water-based putty since it does not smell and it's easy to clean up! I have made a little more progress since these photos from a couple of weeks ago ... will continue to post more to get the fellow readers' feedback since I am still learning. Cheers!
