Italeri 7057 1/72 Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer Collector Kit  [IT-7057S]

Italeri 7057 - 1/72 Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer Insight

The Italeri 7057 kit brings the Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer to 1/72 scale, capturing the compact tank destroyer used by German forces in World War II. Derived from the Czech 38T chassis, the Hetzer combined a low silhouette with capable armament, and this plastic model reflects those defining aspects.

Context and Authentic Detail

Introduced late in the war, the Hetzer addressed the need for a more economical and manoeuvrable tank hunter. This model reproduces core elements like sloped armour and the gun mounting, allowing modellers to recreate the vehicle's wartime appearance accurately.

Display Considerations for Enthusiasts

The 1/72 scale is practical for modellers who want detailed subjects without large display cases. The kit works well in group displays and period dioramas, and responds well to paint, washes and light weathering.
