The Jagdpanzer 38(t), commonly known as the Hetzer, was a German tank destroyer introduced in 1944, based on the reliable Czech Panzer 38(t) chassis. Designed for mobility, a low profile, and ambush tactics, it was armed with a 75mm Pak 39 L/48 gun, and its compact, sloped armor offered effective protection while keeping production costs lower than larger tank destroyers. The late version featured improvements such as simplified components for mass production, a revised gun mantlet, and an updated exhaust system, and it was deployed extensively on both Eastern and Western Fronts in defensive roles. Its small size and maneuverability made it ideal for urban combat and ambushes in forested or hilly terrain. Favored by German crews for its ease of use and reliability, the Hetzer was operated by Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units, and postwar by foreign forces such as Hungary and Czechoslovakia, influencing future tank destroyer designs. This 1:35 scale model accurately captures the late-version Hetzer’s features, including textured armor, realistic gun mount, and precise late-war modifications, making it an essential piece for collectors and enthusiasts of German armored vehicles.
