have to agree with the otehrs, that looks great. Be nice to see some paint on it.

Did that mantlet come with the Aber set, or have you done up the kit one.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Looks like you've dressed up the Tamiya kit pretty nicely there Rob! Have you settled on a paint scheme for it yet? Yes

Sweet! Another talented builder of whom I can be envious. Bow Down Looks almost real.

Hetzer Build

Hello friends, haven't had a chance to get on in a long while. Family and work have taken up alot of time not to mention Call of Duty Black Ops and LA Noire for those XBOX and PS3 lovers out there. But I have had a chance to get a few projects done here and there. Just wanted to share my Tamiya Hetzer that I finished building a few weeks ago. I used Abers Hetzer Deluxe set (side skirts, barrel, MG barrel and antennas) as well as Model Kasten tracks. The tie down brackets were made with brass .28 brass wire. Those who built the kit know it pretty much builds on its own. But I did have to rework the drive sprockets as they were too big for the MK tracks (similar to the problem with Tamiya's new PZ II kit). Thanks for taking a look.
