1/35 Tamiya MARDER III in a street scene.

Confession time.

I just saw an email alert for this thread. It said "Marder 111" in the subject. It has been bothering me.

It is just the font used I guess, but viewed as a webpage it shows "Marder III", which this is NOT.

Carry on!

Who is worried... We all know what it means and so if John gets a 'D' for the mistake, are we really that bothered.
You should see some of the spelling and grammar mistakes, but who gives a dotcomma, we are here to model not do graduate English...
Please, we had to put up with such pedantics on the last forum, let's not have it here as well.

I was only bothered in trying to determine if this Marder III was a smaller variant of the Marder III that I was pretty familiar with that used the Soviet 76mm.

I understood it was just a typo when it came in via email and the font showed they were Arabic numerals not Roman.

Yes it was just a mistake putting the 111 , in stead of III.
Shall I continue ?

 

[Jakko]

Please do!

No problem, all sorted out now and back to the model...

Evening to UK viewers, and good day depending on where you are in the US and other countries.

That cracked window is awesome!

How did you get the grooves in the gray door, are those cuts as done when restoring panel lines, or is the raised part in between a second layer of styrene?
