Dragon 1/35 Military - 1/35 Hetzer Command Version - D6993

The Jagdpanzer 38(t) 'Hetzer' was a compact, heavily sloped tank destroyer built on the reliable Panzer 38(t) chassis, mounting a 7.5cm PaK39 L/48 gun capable of defeating most Allied tanks while presenting a low, difficult target. This Command Version depicts the specialist variant issued to platoon and company commanders, fitted with additional radio sets and a second antenna mount so that officers could coordinate the fire and movement of several Hetzers rather than relying solely on hand signals.

Dragon reproduces the Hetzer's distinctively angular, well-sloped hull using slide-mould technology to capture crisp armour plate junctions and the vehicle's compact proportions, while the extra command antenna, stowage and radio equipment specific to this variant are rendered as separate, finely detailed parts not found on the standard gun-tank kit.

The kit includes individual track links, photo-etched detail parts for grilles and mesh screens, and decals covering late-war Wehrmacht Hetzer command vehicles.

A great pick for modellers wanting a variant that stands apart from the ubiquitous standard Hetzer, ideal for leading a late-war German armour vignette with this command tank destroyer.
