Dear friends
I've been browsing the whole web page for more information about the Maresal Tank Destroyer.
Sorry but I can't understand some points:
- What prototype has the Pz.38 t roadwheels (if there were any...)?
- Are there any accurate drawing at last?
- Number of prototypes produced?
- Possible colours (I can't be sure about the colour in the couple the photos I've seen)? Khaki? Some kind of green?
- The Soviets seized, at last, one of them. Witch model? They used it?

Many questions, I'm affraid... sad.gif
But the truth is out there tongue.gif

Thanks in advance

Road wheels, none. The last two prototypes, M-05 and M-06, had the drive sprockets from Pz 38(t)

There are b/w sketches from all sides for M-05 but they are reconstitution, so it can't be said how accurate they are.

- Number of prototypes produced?


There were seven prototypes: M-00, M-01, M-02, M-03, M-04, M-05 and M-06

The prototypes, if painted, were probably in the khaki color specific to Romanian armor. However, the specifications for the field employment included anti-magnetic cement and camouflage colors (which are not specified in my source)

All of the completed pieces (I believe including the 10 almost completed of the first series) and I doubt they had any use for them except scrap metal or target practicing.
