Anyone know of any aftermarket goodies for the Marder II?

Anyone know of any aftermarket goodies for the Marder II?

I believed most of the AM stuffs are for DML...Not for Tamiya :(

Here are some:-

Modelkasten #SK-56 Track Links replacement...it is for Tamiya :)

Voyager #35131 Upgrade set...it is for DML, I have that set, but don't know it fitted to Tamiya kit or NOT...Check it out here...for what included in Voyager set.

And Armorscale, Aber...both of them had the replacement Barrels for the Pak Gun...again no idea is fitted to Tamiya kit or NOT.

Cheers,

Hi

I brought this off of ebay myself last year and was a bit disappointed when I opened the box. It really is an old kit which appears to date from the time when they put electric motors in them as the slots are in the hull if I remember rightly.

Moulding was reasonable for its time but in hindsight I wish I'd done some research, I'd have waited and looked for the Dragon kit.

Still at five dollars you can't complain. Just don't go mad on after market stuff or you might as well have brought the better Dragon kit.

Look out for some cheap tracks, maybe even see if some lucky devils buying Fruils etc. will let you have the tracks from their Dragon kit.
