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

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

The Italeri 7057 reproduces the Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer in 1/72 scale, reflecting a well known German tank destroyer from World War II. Built on the Czechoslovak 38T chassis, the original vehicle was noted for its compact form and effective armament, features represented in this plastic model.

War Service and Model Accuracy

Appearing in the final years of the war, the Hetzer was a response to the need for smaller, mass produced tank hunters. This kit captures the vehicle's distinctive profile and key fittings, useful for modellers aiming for historically informed builds.

Practical Modelling Notes

At 1/72 scale the model balances detail and footprint, making it suitable for both cabinet display and diorama scenes. The kit benefits from careful painting and weathering to highlight casting texture and panel seams.
