Subject:

Tristar Marder III Ausf. H- I'm very disappointed!

Date:

Oct 15, 2007

From:

David Golinsky

I started building Tristars' new Marder III Ausf. H today, and what a piece of crap. First, the hull assembly. I had to bend, and keep bending the base in order to get the hull sides to fit and even then I had to apply a ton of pressure to get all three to fit and stay together. Second, the glacis plate. There was a big chunk missing from the glacis plate. I thought that if I assembled the front plate it would cover it, not a chance! Third, the gun assmebly. The gun assembly sprues are not even from Tristar, it's from AFV Club! You know how I knew something was up when I saw that those sprues weren't the same color as the rest of the sprues in the kit.

I don't know who reviewed this kit, but it's obvious to me that maybe this person was paid off by Tristar to give it a great review. On the other hand, maybe I got a "bad" kit. Whatever the case maybe be, I don't think I'll be doing any Marder III Ausf. H's anytime soon.
