Triggerhappy Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Hi all, playing CM all the time brought me to the idea to re-awaken my long lost model building skills. To begin I thought of building my favorite German TD, the oh-so-cute Hetzer. Now I'm looking for suggestions on which model to choose. The kit should be at least 1:48 in scale, decent quality, plastic or metal tracks prefered. Also it should be possible to build different variants of the Hetzer. Some crew members included would be nice, too. Any suggestions? Does anyone know any decent model building sites on the net? Kit reviews? ------------------ Rührt euch!

Georgii2222 Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 Tamiya are alway great kits. I'm sure they make a hetzer. Not sure about the plastic tracks, though, I think they still supply vinyl (?) tracks with their older kits. You can go to www.tamiya.com and see their stuff. Another good brand is Dragon (DML), they would have the plastic tracks that your looking for. Georgii2222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 AFAIK Tamiya doesn't have a Hetzer, but Dragon does in 1/35 scale. Here is a site from which you can order online: http://www.phoenix-model.com/dragon-military.htm Item #DML6030 Here is another site that has two additional models from which to choose. The Italeri kit may be to your liking. http://www.Squadron.com/SearchResults.asp?ScaleList=35&TypeList=3&ManuList=everything&Key=Hetzer&Submit=Go [This message has been edited by Pvt.

Triggerhappy Posted February 17, 2001 Author Share Posted February 17, 2001 Thanks Ryan, the Dragon models look great. I remember that the quality of Dragon's kits was very good, although I built mostly fighters and bombers when I was younger. Can't wait to see my beloved Hetzer standing on my office desk. Now if I only hat 6.000 Dollars to spare to build a 1/8 scale RC model... ------------------ Rührt euch!
