The QRF Marders are nice models. It is one of my favorite Cold War vehicles. Not easily seen on their website pictures is differences between the Marder A1 and A2. Both models use the same hull, but the A1 comes with the totally awesome remote controlled gun for the rear deck. The A2 comes with that part cut down and without the machine gun. The A2 also has turret modeled, accurately, with the thermal imager. I did not see the turret difference for a while, even when I had the miniatures in hand.
I did replace all the 20mm cannons with brass barrels from Combat Wombat. I was very happy with the result.
Here is the Marder A2. Look for the turret thermal sight.
I acquired extra Milan launchers from Irishserb's VBL model. Here is how the Marder with the Milan appears. I am not sure if I plan to glue them on the turret. I may keep them lose and use them as markers when the crew deploys the Milan which normally rides inside the Infantry compartment.
