This 1:35 scale model depicts the Jagdpanzer 38(t) “Hetzer” Early Production, one of the most efficient German tank destroyers of World War II, introduced in 1944 to replace lighter vehicles such as the Marder III.
Built on the Czech Panzer 38(t) chassis, the Hetzer featured a low silhouette, 60 mm sloped armor, and the powerful 75 mm Pak 39 L/48 gun, giving it excellent battlefield performance.
The Early Production version includes authentic features such as dual exhausts, flat front idler wheels, and a short muzzle brake.
The Academy kit offers finely detailed panel lines, separate track links, accurate suspension, movable gun and hatches, and realistic surface texture.
High-quality decals reproduce 1944 Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS camouflage schemes, including three-tone Dunkelgelb, Olive Green, and Red Brown patterns.
A small but formidable model representing the refined late-war German tank destroyer design.
