Any info appreciated.

Most Marders used in Normandy were Marder III and Is, I haven't come across any info about Marder IIs serving in normandie but I wouldn't be surprised if some were there.

You know, I actually found a photo of the vehicle Tamiya used for that box art. I can't remember exactly which book, but if I can find it I'll let you know!

On that note, the Wespe in Koblenz is the exact same as the Tamiya Wespe - it has been restored recently, and you should be able to find a lot of photos of it...

Finally the chance for some ultimate research - go down there and photograph the vehicle through ;)
