Tamiya 32511 1/48 Hetzer - modeller overview

This 1/48 scale kit reproduces the mid-production Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer with attention to the vehicle's compact lines and sloped armour. The model offers a faithful small-scale representation of the late-war tank destroyer, including the distinctive gun and low profile.

Context and modelling interest

Built to succeed older designs, the Hetzer entered production in 1944 and was widely used until 1945. The kit conveys key design traits like the angled front and short hull, which appeal to modellers focusing on late-war German armoured vehicles.

Kit contents and assembly advice

The set combines a die-cast chassis for realistic weight with detailed plastic parts for the mid-production muffler, leaf-spring suspension and gun fittings. Construction requires glue, and the decal sheet offers three marking choices to finish an accurate display piece.

Key specs

  • Scale - 1/48 scale
  • Parts - Die-cast chassis with plastic detail components
  • Assembly - Requires glue for assembly
  • Decals - Three marking options included

What skill level suits this 1/48 Hetzer kit?

The kit is aimed at intermediate modellers. It includes small parts and requires careful gluing and painting to achieve a crisp, museum-quality finish.

Can the supplied decals achieve weathered finishes?

Yes, decals provide base markings; combine them with washes, filters and pigment powders to simulate wear, mud and operational grime for a more convincing result.

Are paint references included for the different variants?

The kit supplies decal options but not a paint guide. Consult period references or dedicated paint conversion charts to match late-war camouflage and unit markings accurately.
