Quality All casting are very well cast as usually in kit by this renowned producer. You have to clean only few sprue marks and little resin film from some parts. The hull of the vehicle is cast in one piece. The fighting compartment has to be completed out of four parts. The tracked chassis is cast in two pieces only because tracks and wheels are moulded together. The PAK 40 gut has only few parts but they are very well detailed as well as all parts mentioned above.

General Impression & Note I guess you will get very nice model of one of three variants of German WW2 tank hunter ”Marder I” after completion of this kit. Cpt. Becker’s Parisian ”Baukommando” completed about 170 of this self-propelled guns designate ”7.5cm PaK40/1 auf Geschutzwagen Lorraine Schlepper(f)” since 1942 till 1944. First vehicles got in action on Easter front and than most of them fought on Western front.
I have also found one reference photo of the vehicle said to be destroyed in Tunisia in one of French ”Horse Series” books. The rest two variants of ”Marder I” are vehicles based on captured Hotchkiss H-39 and FCM 36.
