Tamiya 25156 Hetzer 1/35 Mid Production Scale Kit  [25156]

Compact Hetzer Replica for Scale Enthusiasts

The Tamiya 25156 kit captures the low-slung design of the mid production Hetzer with neat surface detail and precise moulding. Included photo-etched components and a metal gun barrel from Aber give the model sharper detail and a truer look on the shelf or in a diorama.

Background and Notable Details

Derived from the Czech 38t chassis, the Hetzer mounted a 75mm gun behind steeply sloped 60mm front armor, making it effective in ambush roles. Tamiya mirrors that compact layout and supplies four photo-etched sheets for items like fenders, side skirts and engine grilles, along with a brass jacket for the MG34 and brass radio masts to boost realism.
