Historical background: The Sd.Kfz.138/2 Hetzer (Jagdpanzer 38(t)) was a German tank destroyer used during World War II, based on the chassis of the Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) tank. The Middle Version was produced from mid-1944 and became the core of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS anti-tank units during campaigns on both Eastern and Western fronts. The Hetzer featured a low silhouette, effective armor, and armament in the form of the 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48 gun, making it highly effective in ambushes against Allied tanks until the end of the war.

The use of high-quality Voyager Model photo-etched parts allows for an accurate recreation of such details as fan gratings, handles, stowage latches, mounting components, and other fine features that a standard plastic kit cannot reproduce at this level of resolution. Additionally, the included metal gun barrel requires no filling or sanding and provides the highest level of realism for the armament.

Product advantages:

• High compatibility with the aforementioned Dragon kits
• Extra detailing and authenticity of the components
• Top-quality materials (metal, brass)
• Ideal for advanced modelers focused on precision

Recommended assembly difficulty level: 4/5 (product intended for intermediate to advanced modelers due to precise, small parts and the need to work with metal and photo-etch).

The Voyager Model PE351038A set is an excellent choice for every modeler who wants to bring their Hetzer model as close as possible to the real vehicle known from historical World War II photographs.
