Tamiya 1/35 Hetzer Mid Production

The Tamiya 1/35 Hetzer Mid Production (HC-35285) is a high-quality assembly kit depicting the mid-production Jagdpanzer 38(t) tank destroyer. Capturing the compact, low-profile lines of this formidable WWII vehicle, the model reflects the Hetzer’s sloped armour and its fixed 75mm Pak 39 L/48 gun with crisp, modern moulding throughout.

About The Hetzer

Developed in 1943 to replace interim tank destroyers such as the Marder series, the Hetzer was built on the proven Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) chassis and operated by a crew of four. Its low silhouette, sloped armour and potent main armament made it an effective ambush vehicle. By May 1945, 2,584 examples had been produced, with ongoing changes creating distinct early, mid and late production variants.
