{"product_id":"1-35-german-tank-destroyer-marder-i","title":"Tamiya 1\/35 German Tank Destroyer Marder I","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis historical model assembly kit depicts the German Tank Destroyer Marder I. The Marder I was one of the early German efforts to update a military that – despite crushing early successes against Poland and the Allied early in WWII – was in sore need of mechanization. Based upon the French Lorraine supply tractor, it was one of a number of commandeered vehicles pressed into German service. Around 170 were produced from May 1942, and their 7.5cm Pak40 anti-tank gun was a threat to Allied AFVs in France post-Normandy landings, and also on the Eastern Front and even North Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact chassis and bulging upper hull, complete with rivet and weld line details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior features gun breech detail, sights, racks, radio equipment and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly type tracks have single piece straight sections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBogies have an ergonomic parts breakdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo figures are pictured looking to the skies, hinting at the breakdown of air control from their Luftwaffe after the Normandy landings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with three marking options, two from Normandy and one from the Eastern Front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Tamiya \/ 1\/35 \/ Tank","offer_id":53187492315416,"sku":"Tam35370","price":575.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0141\/5256\/4794\/files\/35370_1.jpg?v=1794217107","url":"https:\/\/swordandboard.co.za\/products\/1-35-german-tank-destroyer-marder-i","provider":"Sword \u0026 Board Games and Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
