...........
Notice my models are stock models applied to the files in... inventive ways. _My Marder III M (p38 M + Pak40) came out pretty close to real._ (see jpg below) Others... Well one must use imagination. ...And squinting. Think of these as XML space holders until better models.

Dates of entry are accurate (from my Marder notes below). Armourment is right. Armor is same as stock marder XMLs from which these mods come; I didn't know enough about it to tinker.

This is freeware: change at will. (upload please)

All these files are directed to a compendium image of real marders (except Marder II stock which has its own stock image).

A Folder scheme given is ready for JSGM; or just drop the unzipped package into main PzC:K folder-- nothing will be overwritten, because the two stock files are renamed in this package. Your stock marder files --'Marder II' & 'Marder III' in your Data/ArmouredUnits folder-- can be manually set aside (in a storage folder): they will not be needed, if this mod is used.

Here's the zip package

My notes on marders culled from various sources. Note higher types were sometimes made and deployed earlier. Note not all vehicles in all theaters...
