Your not wrong there Dave :smiling4::smiling4::smiling4:

What are those things on the front decking of the Marder? - they look like gas bottles!
Dave

[Allen Dewire]

They are gas bottles Dave. Some of these were powered with Stadtgas in training units. Sort of like the Imbeth gas system using wood, except using bottled gas. I wouldn't want a Sherman taking a shot at me with those on the front.....

You live and learn, never seen those before.

I can't understand why Revell would offer the kit for sale. A normal Ausf. M Marder would have been more appropriate. I am curious as to where they got the molds…..

[Guest]

I suspect they’re optional parts, allowing you to build one in combat conditions without the bottles, or from a training unit with them. TBH, I would welcome parts like these being included, rather than catering only for building a front-line vehicle.

Just decal changes from their previous western & eastern front releases
On a sadder note Miguel Jimenez announced that his wife Eliza passed away on the 30th Dec, after a 3 year fight against cancer, at the age of 32. ( Facebook page ). I don't think words are adequate to express sorrow at her death at such an age

Revell's offering's for 2020

[Dave Ward]

So, seven new toolings ( mostly 1/72 ), and a whole raft of cooperations - ICM & Zvezda being the most prominent.
On a personal note - I spent ages chasing the 1/72 Junkers W.13 on ebay - now, Revell are reintroducing it - DOH!!
