Pete in Lincs Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The programme Combat Dealers had on on rebuild. Maybe some of it will be useful to you. https://youtu.be/8EX79k-H5hM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) In a staggering coincidence I just popped on the tele and discovery are playing the episode just now. Some great views of the gun and mantle. I also like that camo scheme, was planning on using an ambush scheme, but I'm beginning to think it's a bit hackneyed.

Marklo Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 I may have saved myself a ton of work here, 1/16 Panther track found on the interweb for €4.59 plus shipping and look like they can be cut down to work on the Hetzer. I reckon if I do it right I might even get a second 38(t) chassis out of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Looks good - but won’t 1/16 scale be far too big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bandsaw Steve said: but won’t 1/16 scale be far too big? 1/16 is only 50% larger than 1/25 and as it happens the track links are too wide but pretty much the right thickness and height, so I should be able to trim them down to size. I have a plan b( c?, Z?) and have a set of rubber band tracks on order too. Edited July 8, 2022 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Ok. Will continue to watch with interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) One more resin part to mold ( a fourth sprocket) and I think I’m done. Edited July 8, 2022 by Marklo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 The full complement of bits and pieces. Started attaching the suspension parts. A bit more assembly. The road wheels are just dry fitted to check (Czech ) if I’ve gotten the overall assembly right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Most of the suspension attached. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Four if the eight road wheels dremelled, filled and sanded. I’m going to redo the hub details. And of course I managed to sit on the hill so it’s undergoing some ( thankfully) minor repairs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Added in to KUTA mostly or cause it wasn’t getting the priority I tend to give GBs nor because I don’t love it Fear not the Hetzer is almost complete. All learnings will be incorporated in my builds for the STGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
