Taking bets, since more players are getting into 1/144th scale, Cold War era miniatures gaming, not to mention more manufacturers as well.

Who will be the first to produce a proper, Cold War era Marder 1, Marder 1A1, or Marder 1A2 in this scale?

Marder 1A3s don't count, since they were only fielded after the end of the Cold War – Arrowhead Miniatures and Miniature Figurines both make the ultramodern version.

Sadly, no one produces a proper, Cold War era Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicle, which was the backbone of the Bundeswehr's Panzergrenadier force for almost 20 years.

Choices are:

Aotrs Shipyards
Arrowhead Miniatures
Miniature Figurines
Pendraken (slightly smaller, 1/150th scale)
Timecast
Other

Sorry, None of the Above is not a choice, nor is I don't care. If you don't, that will be represented by your not voting in the poll.

If other, please feel free to specify any other 1/144th scale manufacturers that you think might enter into this contest.

Note, I've personally contacted ALL of the above to request it, but so far no joy. On the plus side, a number of my other requests have indeed been produced since I e-mailed them, so it does appear some manufacturers listen and respond to customer requests.

Ha! I can make one now in whatever scale you want, specifically a Marder 1A2. 3d printed of course.

Unless Bashy gets on it, I suspect Aotrs will be first.

You want proof? Here it is, a Marder 1A2 in 1/100 scale printed.


I realize the OP was 1/144 scale. I have printed a model in this scale but I had a picture of this in 1/100.

Yep, looks like Bashy for the win.

My guess was otherwise going to be Timecast, since they're working on Cold War releases now.
