Review of the Panzer 38(t) and Marder Variants kit from Plastic Soldier Company


Review of the Panzer 38(t) and Marder Variants kit from Plastic Soldier Company. Size 15mm; material: hard plastic.
Retail price $30 for 5 models.
The box comes with 5 sprues, one for each model. The instruction manual has a color coded overview which parts are to use for which tank.
You can choose from Panzer 38(t), Marder III SdKfz 139 or
Marder III SdKfz 138-H. It also contains 7 crew members and two tank commanders.
The assembly guide is good, but you have to pay some attention to details. Don't use the 38(t) rear hull top when you build the hull for the Marder.
The parts fit well and overall assembly is easy. I had to cut off a little bit from a tool box, otherwise the right side hull for the 139 variant wouldn't fit. It's covered by the side armor on top, so you can't see the cut off part from the box.
I would also prefer a more detailed picture of the rear part of the Marder. I had to look up pictures online to figure out where to put the chairs and metal casket.
Despite these, in my opinion, minor issues it's a very good model kit.
Compared to the FoW Marder kit (only one option) which comes with 4 models for $47 (also plastic) you get a lot more value for less Dollars.
I totally recommend this Plastic Soldier model kit (I'm not getting payed for this, lol)
Enjoy the pictures.
