Mr.Smythe's Hetzer

[The Smythe Meister]

Glad (sort of) that you said it was a good kit Andy. I was looking at one for my Ardennes dio. Guess it's going on the 'buy' list then

You won't be disappointed Alan,...
.... and it's PERFECT for your Dio.

Howdy Mr. Smiff, Talk about late to the party!....just had a complete read up on this build.....downright stunner it is!! That camo job came out the K-9's Codds!! and I'm quite certain JR and the Committee are standing by in the wings, waiting for this to come over the finish line! Tip 'O the Hat to your efforts so far! :thumb2:

[Jim R]

Bet you're pleased with how this has come on. Figure is nice. I do like that paint job.

[Mickc1440]

That looks really smart Andy

Alan, you might want to see if the Airfix re-box kit of this Hetzer is cheaper. The difference is the Airfix kit doesn't include the masks for the camo. Everything else is identical and it does build up very nicely...

No Rick, only the SPCA will be in on this. It appears Mr. Smiff had cut the tips off poor Cohan's claws. He made Cohan walk through paint, put on some dastardly music, and then made poor Cohan dance all over the Hetzer to achieve the ambush dot camo effect. He should be arrested..............

Now to you Mr. Smiff...................Great looking Hetzer Andy!!! Love the camo and I'm glad the kit built up (like I said) nice and easy, with a great fit too!!! If I might suggest, I do hope you knock the shine off the finish a little with the weathering....And the tracks weren't all that bad, now were they Buddy!!!...

[Allen Dewire]

Well Mr.Race I'm afraid Cohan has gone to bed!
He's very particular about when to sleep and when to take part,(he LOVES the previous!! )
But here he is in his favourite "going to sleep" hammock just a few minutes ago...

Looks tiny there eh?... In actual fact he's 16" long from nose to tail

Cheers Andy,
It was fun to do,if not a bit lacking as my first attempt... But I've done some more weathering too,
So that will hopefully,improve it. :smiling3:

[JR]

Thank you Andy .
He's a fine looking specimen. I see he still has his claws thank goodness :nerd:

Love to Rach .
