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!

More tomorrow, looking much more like a building , windows in, and some weathering on some ricks from a leaking gutter ( well it will be when the gutter goes on )

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