Crossroads Diecast and The New Model Army have teamed up for an exclusive release of the Marder III. This particular vehicle carries the markings of the 9th SS Panzer Division, the Hoenhausen Division. This will be a limited run of 30 pieces. Details are still being finalized as to the exact release date and price.

If you are interested you can pm or email me to reserve your model.

I am posting a production photo. This is not the final version. We are anticipating receiving the finished pictures by Tuesday hopefully.

Thanks

30? Did you leave out one or two 0s, or did you just post that they're going to produce only 30 of these beautiful models? That's a shame, because I'm certain that there'd be more than 30 people out there that'd pay a fortune for it, myself included

30 it is.

For those not familiar with New Model Army I should provide some background information. The New Model Army makes its models and metal soldiers in 1:30 scale. They are comparable in size to King & Country soldiers and vehicles. Like K&C their models are made of polystone. The New Model Army usually releases three sets of each vehicle type; summer camo, winter camo and a desert if the vehicle type was used there. They are produced in 100 piece runs per color camo. That means including the exclusive there will only be around 330 of these produced. We should be getting pictures of the other releases later in the week.

I haven't seen the final version yet but I was very impressed with the production photos. The Marder and 4 versions of the Tiger were announced at the London Toy Soldier show yesterday. From what I have heard they received very good reviews on both the Tiger and the Marder. We should have pictures of the Tiger later this week as well.

Thanks

I'll call them from the phone in my Rolls while I'm headed to the Yacht club and order one.

Cost?

The cost is one of the details we are still working on. We are estimating it to be in the $80-$90 range. It will probably be closer to $80. We should have better details later this week.
