Emergency lash-up created from obselete Pz 38(t) chassis and rechambered Russian field gun (Pak 36 (r) ).
Although it had numerous flaws (underpowered, high centre-of-gravity, minimal crew protection) it was actually quite powerful and successful when first introduced.

Marder III Sdkfz 138 (2 versions) were very different later conversions utilising Pak 40 instead of Pak 36(r) and will be issued separately.

Marder III Sdkfz 139 (SLA, FDM, FDM high-detail versions, extra track on glacis option.)
Sla version has fully hollow basket/engine grille area.
FDM version has solid basket and filled-in underside of basket, and some details removed to aid cleanup. Hoop over gun thicker.
FDM high detail has hollow basket with underside filled in.

For general SLA use, I would recommend SLA gun and FDM high detail hull.

Vehicle printed sitting on its tracks. Gun printed horizontal. Printed model is FDM high detail.
