This is a plastic model and assembly is required.
- Recreate the unique style of a prototype vehicle in 1/35 scale with this plastic model assembly kit.
- This model kit replicates the German military's 38(t) tank destroyer with a 2cm anti-aircraft gun Flak38, which was developed during World War II but only produced as a prototype.
About the Actual Vehicle
- During World War II, the German army utilized components from the Czech 38(t) tank to develop and deploy the light tank destroyer Hetzer.
- Production started in 1944, and several variant types were produced.
- One such variant was a reconnaissance tank equipped with a 2cm anti-aircraft gun Flak38.
- The vehicle featured an open-top design by removing the roof armor from the compact, fixed combat chamber and mounting the 2cm Flak38 on the chassis.
- Created in 1944, this vehicle was modified from a 38-style recovery tank chassis.
About the Model
- This scale model accurately reproduces the Hetzer recovery tank with a 2cm anti-aircraft gun Flak38, known only as a prototype, in 1/35 scale.
- The model includes a detailed open-top combat chamber interior.
- It features a mechanically replicated 2cm anti-aircraft gun Flak38, enhancing the compact body’s density feel.
- The kit includes two types of gun mount bases and a simple base with a steel frame, capturing the late-war atmosphere.
- Unlike the Hetzer, the recovery tank chassis upper part is a single molded piece, and the side brackets are replicated using etched parts.
