1/35 Academy Hetzer (late war)

[Guest]

Hey, guys, first off a late Merry Christmas to you all!

Ok, so here's my next build. I'm building a very late war Hetzer and plan to give it a 'what-if?' paint job, but a plausible one.

Anyway, here are the pics.

I will be adding the 4 holed idler wheels instead. I messed up the original schurzen and as they were too thick anyway made some new ones from sheet plastic.

Still lots to do with this one, so please stay tuned for more in the new year!

Hope you had a good one Alex. Nice start on that kit, you've done a fair amount to improve it already.

Thanks, Joe! This build is certainly easier on the eyes than the tiny 1/72 King Tiger.

I built this kit and loved it. I hope you have fun too...part of the appeal to me was the camo pattern so i look forward to your scheme.

[Guest]

Thanks, Aaron. I remember your build with the small diorama - it was very cool and the figures turned out excellent! I'll be happy if I can achieve as good a finish as you did.

Great work Alex

Fantastic Alex...cant wait to see your paintjob. I stumbled upon your utube channel and i was allready subscribed.

I have the high speed tractor from hobby boss too. Great looking kit. A few e.p.m but no big problem.

The turret on the VK502 looks well awesome.

Cheers, Aaron! Thanks for subscribing to my channel on youtube. I'm really looking forward to the VK502 build and can't wait to share it!
