Tamiya 32511 - 1/48 Scale Hetzer Mid-Production Builder Edition  [32511]

Building notes for the Tamiya 32511 Hetzer 1/48

Scale modelling fans will appreciate this 1/48 rendition of the mid-production Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer. The kit highlights the vehicle's compact hull and slanted armour, and conveys the low-profile silhouette that defined the Hetzer on late-war battlefields.

Why the Hetzer appeals to modellers

Engineered to succeed earlier designs, the Hetzer went into series production in 1944 and was produced in significant numbers by 1945. This kit captures distinctive elements such as the angled armour plates and tight engine compartment, making it a solid subject for historical builds.

Assembly features and modeller pointers

The set combines a die-cast lower chassis with precision plastic parts to reproduce the mid-production exhaust, leaf-spring suspension and gun mount. Glue is required for construction and the decal sheet gives three authentic marking choices for customisation.
