Hetzer kit question

I haven't built mine yet (have two, including the one above), but from everything I've read online, Hetzers are one of the easier tanks to model. In fact, a few web sites have stated that for the armor modeler who wants to try scratch-building for the first time, the Hetzer is a great subject due to its clean exterior and straight lines.

The kit above - being a dragon offering - will have individual track links. I love them. You may not, but this would be a good kit to try IMHO.

Enjoy your modeling...

cool thanks for the info.

Let me know if you find one aailable. I have been looking

I built Dragon's 6030 kit - early version...

A pretty simple build IMO - nothing too complicated, not too many parts - but the indy tracks will take some time. It's even got a few photoetched parts.

I found it to be a good kit.

A friend of mine built one and it looks great, indies are alittle tricky but arent they alwaysI have the command version and flame version both look fairly easy to build.Opon opening them I thought at first there was parts missing cause well there isnt alot to it. It should prove to be a fairly easy build for ya. Good luck and keep us posted.

I build DML's command version... It was a great kit, my first attempt at INDY track links. They went together great. I would definately reccomend that kit.

You can find them all the time on E-bay.


What I see most often is the Italeri kit. It was also re-boxed by Revell. It 's a pretty descent kit. It's an old kit but builds out nice w/ some photo-etched parts for the finer details. It does have the rubber band type tracks.

The Dragon kit is a little better - more detail. The flame-thrower version, thundergod mentioned, can be built as the normal version - there is an option w/ the kit

Good luck

thanks guys for the info, gonna start scouring ebay now... of course, even if i find one I'm sure it wont gt built for ages, as it seems I'm better at buying kits than actually BUILDING them ;-)
thanks again!

Italeri has the rubberband tracks and I believe the Dragon set includes pe grille. I'd go with the Dragon kit.

Ive built the Italeri kit and found that it is a great starter kit! Its alot easier to build than the dragon kit, and may not have enough detail but its plastic is closer to scale thickness, what i mean is its a little thin. The tracks are so so, but you may be able to find some after market ones that are better. Jerry
