Tamiya 1/35 German Tank Destroyer Marder I Plastic Model Kit

TAMIYA MARDER1:35

Adapt and Re-Use
With the fall of France in June 1940 Nazi Germany came into not only new territory, but also a large amount of captured materiel. Many of the French armored vehicles were pressed into German service, including the Marder I. It was based upon a late-1930s Lorraine tractor vehicle, paired with the German 7.5cm anti-tank gun and based in a new fighting compartment installed on top. The Marder I fought on numerous fronts in WWII and its offensive potential made it a foe for Allied forces to fear.

This historical model assembly kit depicts the German Tank Destroyer Marder I.

The Marder I was one of the early German efforts to update a military that – despite crushing early successes against Poland and the Allied early in WWII – was in sore need of mechanization.

Based upon the French Lorraine supply tractor, it was one of a number of commandeered vehicles pressed into German service.

Around 170 were produced from May 1942, and their 7.5cm Pak40 anti-tank gun was a threat to Allied AFVs in France post-Normandy landings, and also on the Eastern Front and even North Africa. • 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. • Compact chassis and bulging upper hull, complete with rivet and weld line details. • Interior features gun breech detail, sights, racks, radio equipment and more. • Assembly type tracks have single piece straight sections. • Bogies have an ergonomic parts breakdown. • Two figures are pictured looking to the skies, hinting at the breakdown of air control from their Luftwaffe after the Normandy landings. • Comes with three marking options, two from Normandy and one from the Eastern Front.
