ScootyPuffJunior Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Academy Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer (early) in 1/35 scale, painted it as "Chwat," a Hetzer captured by the Polish Home Army during the Warsaw Uprising in late summer 1944. Completed in AK Interactive Real Color lacquers; Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics; AK Interactive and Ammo by Mig enamels; Vallejo and Ammo by Mig pigments; and 502 Abtielung oils. The only changes made to kit were replacing the grab handles with brass rod, building new side skirts from thin sheet styrene, and replacing the kit mantlet/barrel (which are actually quite nice) with a resin/metal kit from DEF Model. Comments and criticism welcomed as always! Edited March 19, 2019 by ScootyPuffJunior 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeren Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 What a great little tank. You did a fantastic job. You wrote you made it an early? Is that a kit option or only possible with add on parts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, the only real difference is the exhaust, gun mantlet, and one of the spare track racks. You can only build the early version out of the kit I built but I don’t know if those parts are in the late version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Really nice paint and weathering job, well done mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Great job. I love how the camo looks to have been sprayed on by a human, rather than a skilled modeller with a precision AB. A nice colour palette as well. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panzer Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Beautiful - I love the 'cloud' camo scheme on this vehicle. The weathering and finish is fantastic too, Cheers, Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
