About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

SdKfz 139 Marder III

I have added the excellent Tamiya SdKfz 139 Marder to a simple base to create a compact but effective diorama scene. The Marder represents one photographed in Fulda in 1945 (Panzerwrecks) and is another "last ditch" use of older equipment by the Germans. 

The SdKfz 139 utilised the excellent captured Russian 76.2mm anti-tank gun, chambered to fire the German 75mm Pak round. Based on the Czech 38t chassis, the little tank killer is a great example of German ingenuity. This old veteran would still give a T-34 a nasty surprise...
