Italeri 7057 1/72 Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer Modelling Kit  [IT-7057S]

Italeri 7057 - 1/72 Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer Summary

The Italeri 7057 represents the Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer, a nimble German tank destroyer of the Second World War. Based on the Czechoslovak 38T chassis, the vehicle earned a reputation for a low profile and practical firepower, traits reproduced faithfully in this 1/72 plastic model.

Historical Notes and Realism

Introduced in the latter part of 1944, the Hetzer met a need for compact, cost effective tank destroyers. This kit mirrors the key structural features, helping modellers appreciate the balance of protection and mobility that defined the original design.

Modelling Benefits and Fit

The small footprint of the 1/72 scale makes the Italeri 7057 ideal for built collections and tight displays. It provides clear lines for painting and weathering while keeping shelf space requirements low.
