Jagdpanzer Marder I (Sd.Kfz.135)Published: January 20, 2021 I would first like to give a HUGE shoutout to Mr. Gary Demory, Tamiya America Customer Service Supervisor without whose help this review may not have been able to be completed.

No instructions are provided; however, the construction is… more |
