1:35 Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer "Late Production Version"
Product Code: 13230

Description

The Jagdpanzer 38(t) (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), later known as Hetzer
("baiter"), was a German light tank destroyer of the Second World
War based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis.
The project was inspired by the Romanian "Maresal" tank
destroyer.

The name Hetzer was at the time not commonly used for this
vehicle. It was the designation for a related prototype, the
E-10. The koda factory for a very short period confused the two
names in its documentation and the very first unit equipped with
the vehicle thus for a few weeks applied the incorrect name until
matters were cleared. However, there exists a memorandum from
Heinz Guderian to Hitler claiming that an unofficial name,
Hetzer, had spontaneously been coined by the troops. Post-war
historians basing themselves on this statement made the name
popular in their works, the vehicle was never named as such in
official documents.
