Road wheels are well detailed on both sides, and tracks are provided as both flexible belt and injection-molded link-and-length types. Molding is Tamiya standard, meaning very sharp and very clean, with excellent fit making assembly a breeze. Includes one figure and decals for four versions.

In 1943, the German high command ordered development of a new purpose-built tank destroyer to replace all of the interim vehicles like the Marder, and the Hetzer was quickly created to meet this requirement. Based on the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), the Hetzer housed a crew of 4 in its low, compact hull. It was armed with a powerful Pak 39 L/48 75mm gun in a fixed mounting and featured sloped armor for enhanced protection. 2,584 were produced by May of 1945, and modifications were continually added during production, leading to differences between early, mid, and late production models.
