Yesterday I found some pictures from the "Indodefence"- Marder:

The one on the right in the lower pictures looks to be in an Australian (style) camouflage scheme!

I don't even think it looks like a Marder although IIRC Indonesia seems to have an indigenous tracked AFV in development?

Hello,
the last days I have some work with this "new" Marder:

Kaplan-20

Good find Rickshaw  :)  I assume that this Kaplan-20 is intended as a replacement for FNSS'  Bradley-based ACV-19 IFV family.

I understood the ACV-19 IFV was developed from the M113 based  ACV-15, not the M2/M3 Bradley.

I bow to your superior knowledge -- I'd never heard of FNSS' Kaplan (or the Otocar Tuplar) until the other day.

Still, the Kaplan-20 track system is certainly a dead ringer for the Bradley's - mid road wheel gap and all!

Hello,
Yesterday I can read that Jordan got the first Marder from Germany. They are supposed to get about 50 tanks. Old Marder A3 from german stocks. In the internet I found these photos:

Thanks for that Didi. The Jordanians have done weird and wonderful stuff to their second-hand Scorpions. I look forward to seeing what they can come up with for the Marder  :)

[Marderman]

I find another photo.

An interesting explanation of the various marks of Marder and other German IFVs.

Packing repacking and I found a started Marder with a LAV 25 turret in the box with the bits.

I love it when that happens. Sounds like you have a Canadian HIAV in the making :-)

[Volkodav]

That suggests I have a LAV 25 with a marder Turret somewhere too.

Big brother to this?

Have you seen Didi's version? http://www.track-link.com/gallery/8487/6

Different sort of camouflage...or add on armour:

[Rickshaw]

Good Cam but bad armour.   Going to be a hell of a lot of big splinters flying around if they get hit with anything.   The crew and passengers are going to have to be all inside when that happens.

Eurosatory 2018. After the Lynx KF31 in 2016 now a new vehicle based on Marder, the Lynx KF 41.

I'm kinda thinking- since Tanque Argentino Pesado uses a stretched TAM chassis and apparently a Leopard 2 turret.......

Inspired by the advent of the EMBT demonstrator...... maybe a TAP that uses the Leclerc turret instead of the Leopard 2 one?

A new one:

Where'd @Marderman disappear to?

Rheinmetall says it has 16 refurbished Marders ready to ship, 14 in the process of restoration, with a 70 of restorable IFVs in inventory.
