Why this kit matters
The Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer" was a German light tank destroyer of World War II based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis. It was designed to be a cheap, easily produced vehicle to bolster Germany's dwindling armored forces. The Late version included improvements and modifications based on battlefield experience. The Hetzer's low profile and powerful gun made it a dangerous opponent in ambush situations. Despite its small size, it played a significant role in the late-war fighting on the Eastern and Western Fronts. It represents the ingenuity and resourcefulness of German engineers in the face of defeat.
Building this model allows you to recreate a significant piece of late-war military technology in detailed miniature. The Hetzer is an iconic vehicle, and this kit captures the essence of its design and operational capabilities. The finished model serves as a tribute to the engineers and soldiers who were involved with this tank destroyer and a reminder of the desperate struggles of the final years of World War II.
