1:35 Hetzer Mid and Late - Saukopf Mantlet Correction / Short Type (for Takom Kits / 3D-Printed)

Hetzer Mid and Late - Saukopf mantlet correction, short type 1:35 (CMK)

A correction accessory from CMK in 1:35 scale. It is not a model but a 3D-printed resin part that replaces the cast Saukopf gun mantlet on the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer tank destroyer in the mid and late production versions. It offers a more accurate shape of the short type of mantlet.

The real subject

The Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer was a light German tank destroyer from the end of the Second World War, built on the proven Czechoslovak chassis. A characteristic feature was the cast gun mantlet nicknamed Saukopf, meaning pig's head, whose shape changed during production and existed in several variants.

What the set is for

• It replaces the Saukopf gun mantlet with a more faithful short type.
• It corrects the shape of the cast mantlet for the mid and late Hetzer versions.
• 3D printing captures the texture of the cast surface of the mantlet.
• Intended for a plastic Hetzer kit in 1:35 scale.

Who the set is for

For modelers who care about the exact shape of the gun mantlet of a particular production version. It calls for cutting off the print supports and gluing with super glue.

An add-on set, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
