Tamiya Hetzer
Posted by masonme2 on Friday, October 16, 2009 10:14 PM
Does anybody make any aftermarket stuff for the Tamiya Hetzer? I'm wondering about any interior or engine compartment detail sets. I know you wouldn't be able to see much but if you made the top removable you could display your interior work.

Off hand I can't name any, but you might try doing a search at any of the on-line websites such as Greatmodels.

This is partly Verlinden's interior, but it took quite a bit of scratchbuilding to bring it into correct specs.

..with the engine installed...this is a separate kit, by the way...

 

I cut the roof out and opened up all the hatches to show it off...this is a command version, from DML.

This model was on the cover and the article in two parts, ran in Finescale Modeler, December 2008/January 2009, and is still available in back issues!

Here's a link to the interior build to help you a bit more...

The Verlinden stuff is still available--try eBay if you can't find it in stores! Big Smile [:D]

Thanks doog but after looking at yours I don't think I could do it justice. I'll just button it up and hope for the best!!!!!!!

Aw, come on now--you can do your own version!? You don't have to "compete" on these forums--just show us your best, and we'll be here to advise you along the way, if you want?!

Give it a shot?! Tongue [:P]

Even if you don't, make sure you posts some pics and show us the result!
