Here is what I've done with my Marder thus far. I chose to replace the
superstructure armour with 0.0150" sheet styrene which scales out to
14mm, with model primer and paint it should be close to the actual 16mm
on the real Marder. One error on the kit which I fixed was the area
under the red dot (in my photo), this area should be recessed a couple
of scale millimeters, which the new parts I made this area naturally
forms itself. Also in the picture I added a bottom flange to the gun
cradle. I'll post more pictures as I progress, and hopefully better ones
too as I figure this camera out.

Paul.
