Tamiya Military Model Kit
Tamiya Hetzer Mid Production (1/48)
The Jagdpanzer 38(t) “Hetzer” was a compact German tank destroyer introduced in 1944, based on the chassis of the Czechoslovakian-built Panzer 38(t). Designed for ambush tactics, it featured a low silhouette, sloped armour, and a powerful 75mm Pak 39 L/48 gun. The mid-production variant included refinements to armour layout, exhaust systems, and other fittings that improved its combat efficiency and ease of production. This variant saw widespread use on both the Eastern and Western Fronts until the end of the war.
Tamiya’s 1/48 scale Hetzer Mid Production kit captures the vehicle’s distinctive profile and practical battlefield design with exceptional accuracy. The model features realistic moulded-on details, precise panel lines, and optional parts to reflect production variations. A die-cast lower hull adds weight for a more authentic feel when displayed. The compact size of the Hetzer makes it ideal for inclusion in dioramas, especially urban or forested ambush scenes where the vehicle’s strengths were most evident.
