My Hetzer has Spots on it!

20 Nov

Like a lot of us, I’ve always had a soft spot of the Hetzer (although the name is often debated), but I’ve never actually built one in my preferred scale of 1/35. I’ve built the Tamiya 48th scale kit, and loved every minute of it. Reproducing that Ambush scheme was something I’d been wanting to do in the larger scale was something I’d been looking for an excuse to do, and the announcement of the new Takom range of Hetzers seemed to be the excuse I was looking for.

Unfortunately, the boxing I had to build wasn’t suitable for the ambush scheme. It did however give me an opportunity build, paint and weather a super interesting subject in a unique spotted scheme.

I really enjoyed this model and you can check out the full build, painting and weathering tutorials in the links below.
