Tamiya 32511 - 1/48 Scale Hetzer Mid-Production Retro-Inspired Kit  [32511]

Tamiya 32511 1/48 Hetzer - notes for display model builders

This 1/48 Hetzer mid-production kit reproduces the compact Jagdpanzer 38(t) profile with sloped armour and the characteristic 75mm Pak 39 L/48 gun silhouette. The small footprint and clear lines make it a rewarding subject for shelf displays and dioramas.

Historic summary and kit relevance

Introduced as a cost-effective tank hunter, the Hetzer entered service in 1944 and many were produced through 1945. The kit reflects the vehicle's compact engineering and wartime role, letting modellers portray it in period liveries.

What to expect in the box

The kit pairs a die-cast lower hull with finely moulded plastic components to show the mid-production exhaust, leaf-spring suspension and gun details. Glue assembly is required and the supplied decals cover three historically inspired variants for custom finishing.
