Why this kit matters
The Pzj G13 was a Swiss tank destroyer based on the German Hetzer, which was developed and produced in the Czech Republic towards the end of World War II [[1](https://www.hlj.com/1-35-scale-pzj-g13-tko2177)]. After the war, Czechoslovakia sold these Hetzer tank destroyers overseas as a means of earning foreign currency. Switzerland operated the G13 until the 1970s [[2](https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hetzer_(Panzerj%C3%A4ger_G13)_%E2%80%93_TankFest_2019_(49905425343).jpg)].
