Hetzer

I like the scheme the Cromwell Models Hetzer is painted on the website. (I mean the big 1/16th scale resin kit of the Hetzer -- well, big for a Hetzer anyway).

Here's the same big Hetzer kit from a modeler's site, in an even cooler scheme:

Osprey has put out a new book called "Modeling the JgPz 38(t) Hetzer." Might be worth a look see.

There is an ambush scheme on this site. It is the usual 3 tone scheme, but with a lot of character

There was a great article in Tamiya Military Modeling International about painting a late war hard edge scheme. It was based on green rather than yellow, similar to the paint on my panther below (sig)

I have seen a scheme in a color book on German tanks I have that shows a Hetzer in a Green base, red brown stripes and thin white or buff stripes over that. It may have been a snow camo or a lack of dark yellow. Its also the scheme depicted on the DML box cover I believe for the Later Hetzer.

How about this one?



The third color is Field Gray
