Marder IIIM Question

Post by NHoggard12 » Fri May 02, 2008 4:11 am

Does anyone know what unit this 21stcenturytoys tank is from?
It looks like the 12SS Hitleryouth division, but they did not deploy Marders , or at least in the Normandy campaign.

thanks

That's close but not quite. Of course, the marking may be poorly done.

They're kind of small but I guess they could be oak leaves - they form a vee under the shield's bottom and they themselves look a bit like vees all lined up together in a chain.

your are correct
it is sporting the crest for the
12th SS Panzer Division
"Hitlerjugend"
The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.
