I prepare 2 sets of figurines for the Marder III, I think 1 x DAK and 1 x Winter, but if you have some suggestions for the positions, they are the welcomes!

Hi Olivier! My suggestion is to have one of the crew postitioned so as to be using the optix sight, and at least one preparing to load a shell into the breech - you could include one or two shells with the figure set!

Ken

Hi Olivier , that sounds like a great idea to do two sets of crews. I would go along with Ken's suggestions regarding pose and shell's etc.

Just on that not "If" you do make the shells , can you ensure that they are the Pak 40 type... long skinny one and not the shorted KwK 40 round?
Photo link one shows the Pak 40 type.



Photo link two is the KwK 40 round as used in the Panzers IV G-J/ Jagdpanzer IV etc.

Uhh...doesn't this Marder lll have the Russian 76.2 gun, not the PAK 40? And therefore be using Russian 76.2 ammunition?

Olivier , here is a link to Armorscale website showing the Pak 40 shells and then the KwK 40 shells.

One in the loading/firing/sighting poses as suggested. And maybe one, the DAK set, uploading ammo into the vehicle. I've always wanted to see a 1/48th version of the 1/35th DAK guy sitting on the 55 gal. can and wiping the back of his neck with a rag. A guy leaning over looking down at a guy pulling a round out of a case while the officer wipes his neck and looks on!! Rag in one hand- canteen in the other......seated, of course!!

Dear Dave,
All photos are welcome!

Gasoline/Tarmac figures, those being discussed here, are among the absolute best there is, and NOT the most expensive by far. I always kick myself for not buying more...
