A plastic kit of the Bergepanzer Hetzer with a 2 cm Flak, late version in 1:35 scale from Thunder Model, in a special release with bonus parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the German recovery vehicle built on the chassis of the Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyer and fitted with an anti-aircraft gun of 2 cm caliber. The model matches the late production form and it is a limited release with bonus parts over and above the basic edition. Thunder Model breaks the parts of this series down finely, so the kit is intended rather for more advanced modelers.
The Bergepanzer 38 was created on the chassis of the light Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyer, produced from 1944 in Prague. In place of the closed fighting compartment with a gun it received a lower open superstructure and winch and recovery equipment, and it served to tow and recover damaged vehicles. Given that the vehicle had an open compartment and only light armament of its own, some of the airframes were fitted later with an anti-aircraft gun of 2 cm caliber, the Flak 38 type, which could be used against ground targets as well. Late vehicles differ from the earlier ones in the details of the superstructure, the fenders and the arrangement of the equipment.
An open superstructure means the inside will be visible, so finish and paint the running gear, the floor and the equipment before closing the hull up, and do not skimp on the interior. The gun and its mount have small parts that are better painted separately and fitted right at the end. Bond with a thin cement for plastic and lay down a filler primer before painting. The multicolor late German scheme comes out well with an airbrush at low pressure. Recovery equipment tended to be very dirty in service, so a more pronounced muddy and dusty weathering on the running gear and the fenders pays off here.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
