Wait a minute, Eric. Since the Marders were based on the 38t, shouldn't it be that the Hetzer was based on the 38t, too?? (At least I think that's what I read somewhere! Maybe I'm up in the night!)
LOL
Just jerking your chain!!

hey, i actually know the answer 2 this one !
the Hetzer was indeed based on the Czech 38t chassis,
if u need a quick ID, the Hetzer was sloped down the backside at a constant angle
(kinda 'hatchback' looking) while the stug & jagdpanther have flat rear deck sections
(more like a pickup truck in profile), not 2 mention different roadwheel arrangements...
& the barrel of the hetzer is offset 2 one side, there mite also b the 'saukopf' (sow's head, because that's what it looks like) mantlet on ur vehicle...
wow, if i'm rite, i've actually learned something in the past year, LOL !
if i'm wrong.... never mind....
here's a couple of pix of a hetzer i built awhile back, fujimi 1/76 kit...
