Already available as
a 1/48 scale MM series kit, Tamiya now responds to the requests of military
modellers and announces the release of the German Tank Destroyer Hetzer Mid
Production in the 1/35 scale.
About the Hetzer
In 1943, the German
high command ordered development of a new purpose-built tank destroyer to
replace all of the interim vehicles like the Marder, and the Hetzer was quickly
created to meet this requirement. Based on the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), the
Hetzer housed a crew of 4 in its low, compact hull. It was armed with a powerful
Pak 39 L/48 75mm gun in a fixed mounting and featured sloped armor for enhanced
protection. 2,584 were produced by May of 1945, and modifications were
continually added during production, leading to differences between early, mid,
and late production models.
About the model
