Marder 3 Turret Upgrade for Tamiya Sdkfz139
(109 resin parts, 1 resin jig, 8 clear resin parts and PE parts)
This is an upgraded version of our vintage C-004 kit which were produced 20 years ago.
Instead of just re-releasing the old kit, we have made significant improvement and a lot of the parts are totally remade.
