I also finished this one over the summer. The sand camo was done using the hairspray method, and the weathering was kept very soft. The two figures are from Doug’s Originals and fit quite well to the scene.

Still working on the Marder II, I started to build the next open top tank hunter, the very first of its kind: the Panzerjaeger I. This vehicle consisted of a Chech 47mm anti tank gun mounted on a Panzer I B chassis, and was manufactured from 1940 to 1941. Despite its obvious shortcomings, being under-motorized, providing not enough space and minimal protection for the crew, it still was a effective weapon not only used against enemy tanks, but also against machine gun nests or buildings.

The kit is from Dragon, with an extensive array of Aber sets available. I also bought the upper hull, the basic set and fenders from Aber. As with the Marder, I started building the interior that will be completely painted and weathered, before I glue the hull parts together and finish the build. The interior is simpler than the one from the Marder, and a lot of nice details like the vision ports are contained in the Aber sets.

This is the current state of the build:
