Team Yankee West German Marder II (x5 Plastic)
The Marder II infantry fighting vehicle was a late-Cold War upgrade of West Germany’s original Marder, designed to improve the mobility, firepower, and survivability of Panzergrenadier units. Armed with a 20mm autocannon and anti-tank missile launcher, the Marder II allowed German mechanized infantry to keep pace with Leopard tanks while holding their own against Warsaw Pact armour. In Team Yankee, a Marder II Zug provides your Bundeswehr force with a tough and versatile transport option.

About the Vehicle:
Introduced in the late 1980s, the Marder II offered enhanced armour protection and updated weapon systems over its predecessor. Equipped with MILAN anti-tank guided missiles, it gave Panzergrenadiers the firepower to take on enemy tanks while remaining a capable troop transport. Its combination of armour and weapons made it one of NATO’s most effective IFVs of the Cold War era.
About the Models:
The Team Yankee Marder II kit recreates this improved German IFV in 15mm scale with crisp details and accurate proportions. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, the models are perfect for hobbyists seeking to expand their West German mechanized infantry forces.
