German Jagdpanzer 38(t) “Hetzer”




This light, reliable tank-destroyer was constructed on the chassis of the pre-World War II Czech LT vz 38 tank and mounted a 75mm Pak 39 L/48. Its nickname, apparently unofficial, translates as “baiter,” “instigator,” or in the colloquial “rabble-rouser.” The model in the photos is 1:76 scale and of unknown provenance, maybe Armtec or Modakit.
