Academy 13230 - 1/35 Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer Late Version Model Kit Detail Edition  [AC-13230]

Academy Hetzer 1/35 Late Version model

The Academy 1/35 Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer 'Late Version' brings the compact German tank hunter to life in miniature. Known for its low silhouette and efficient use of armour, the Hetzer is presented here with precise moulding that highlights the vehicle's characteristic plates and fittings.

Design origins and operational use

Built on the Panzer 38(t) chassis, the Jagdpanzer 38(t) was a practical response to wartime needs, offering good protection and a potent 75mm Pak 39 L/48 gun in a small package. This kit mirrors those functional design choices so collectors can appreciate the vehicle's operational role.

What builders can expect

Expect a satisfying project that needs accurate assembly and careful painting. The kit includes finely detailed components that benefit from precise glueing and seam work. Modellers who focus on small-scale detailing will find the Hetzer rewarding to finish.

Display tips and collection fit

The completed Hetzer looks effective on a shelf or in a scene with infantry and terrain. Its modest size makes it simple to position in a display, and it complements other 1/35 armour pieces for themed collections.
