Ready for paint. After finishing there's some things I'd do a touch differently if I did it again, but I don't need two, so I'm quite happy with this as a first ever conversion effort. More photos once I get the vehicle and crew painted and assembled. That may take me a while, the queue at the air brush station is getting pretty full.
This is a conversion of a Warlord Marder III combined with a Flak 38 gun. The gun is magnetized and removable for use on it's original base to get dual use out of it. I still have to paint it of course.

Very nice work! :-*
If you want to build another, I can take it off your hands ;) ;D

Me too :)
That is a very nifty looking bit of kit. And a nice piece of creative modelling. Well done 8)

That's a gorgeous bit of kitbashing/scratchbuilding :-*

Well done!!!

Lovely work!

like it a lot

Thanks for all the kind words. It's been air brushed, so now I need to do all the detail painting, paint the crew and weather it. I'm a bit busy, so maybe 2-3 weeks to get it finished.

And post up some pics!

Still working on it. It's in this batch of vehicles on my work bench now....

Looking good, but what's the object in the front row between the Kubel & the StuG?

That's the front cabin of a RSO-Pak 40 - scratch built conversion. Will be a separate topic here when completed. http://www.achtungpanzer.com/75cm-pak-404-auf-raupenschlepper-ost-selbstfahrlafette.htm
It's on magnets so it can swap with the un-armored cab of the RSO. The Pak-40 ATG is also magnetized. That's the transformer vehicle. Two-for-one with that one.
Update: OK I've come clean. Here's the separate thread on the vehicle: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=97388.msg1206493#msg1206493 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=97388.msg1206493#msg1206493)

As said, a nice looking conversion you have done there. I have to do one in 1/48, which is easier in terms of donor parts. One day....

Now Finished! For a ton more (and higher resolution) photos, please visit my blog here (http://ajs-wargaming.blogspot.com/2017/02/even-more-28mm-late-wwii-german-armor.html).

The gun is magnetized so it can be used on the original infantry base:
