From Box to Reality.... Building the perfect Tamiya Model Hetzer

Welcome back
On the bench today is the Jagdpanzer 38t Hetzer
Based on an obsolete tank chassis of the 38(t) it was redesigned to accommodate the high velocity 75 mm Pak 39 L/48
Production started in March 1944 and 2047 were produced up to the end of the war.
The Hetzer was an excellent design although it was cramped for the crew but was still well liked.
Mobile, with adequate speed and a low porfile, the hetzer was an ambush tank destroyer and arguably one of the best tank destroyers produced by the Germans during WWII.

Awesome job just subscribed How did you get the gun mantlet to sit flush over the texture putty?

[@afv-studio]

Thanks. Glad to have you on board. Apart from a light sanding after the texture is applied, the styrene cement used to fix the mantlet in place is enough to soften the texture underneath enough to allow you to lightly press and embed the mantlet into it. Any small beads of styrene that might seep out from the edge can be cleaned once dry using a hobby blade and a bit of sandpaper.
